Enzyme Reagent

WORLD’S fastest LAMP and RT-LAMP mastermix.

OptiGene’s engineered mastermix for the fastest isothermal amplification of DNA and RNA.

Contains our proprietary novel GspSSD LF DNA Polymerase; further engineered through in-silico design.

Native reverse-transcriptase activity enables rapid single enzyme RT-LAMP.

A DNA target (VKORC1) was amplified from Human gDNA (Sigma). 25μl LAMP reactions were performed at 65ºC for 60 minutes on a real-time thermocycler (Roche LC-480) in duplicate.

The ‘Time to result’ is defined as the time at which the amplification fluorescence value reaches a threshold of 10% of maximal fluorescence.

OptiGene’s Isothermal Master Mixes (ISO-001 and ISO-004) were compared to NEB’s WarmStart LAMP Kit (DNA & RNA) [Lot:0021609]. ISO-001 and ISO-004 DO NOT contain a specific reverse-transcriptase (RT) enzyme. For a true comparison to the NEB mix (which contains a separate and specific reverse-transcriptase enzyme) 0.5U AMV-RT was added to the OptiGene Master Mix reactions (ISO-001 inc. RT and ISO-004 inc. RT). Standard ISO-001 and ISO-004 RT-LAMP reactions were also compared to show the excellent inherent reverse-transcriptase activity of the mix.

A RNA target (Beta-actin) was amplified from Human Total RNA (Ambion). 25μl RT-LAMP reactions were performed at 65ºC for 60 minutes on a real-time thermocycler (Roche LC-480) in duplicate. The ‘Time to result’ is defined as the time at which the amplification fluorescence value reaches a threshold of 10% of maximal fluorescence.
