Descrizione

General description

BST-RT Polymerase is an engineered Bst enzyme with robust reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, making it ideal for use in loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) or RT-LAMP assays. This feature eliminates the necessity of a secondary RT enzyme when targeting amplification from RNA samples, simplifying reaction setup. BST-RT works optimally at 65°C and can be used for real time reaction monitoring with a fluorescent dye or in end point detection assays. BST-RT polymerase is tolerant to potential reaction inhibitors such as ethanol, extraction buffers, and saliva. This enzyme is also compatible with workflows that incorporate dUTP for elimination of reaction carryover contaminants.

Application

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has emerged as a key alternative to polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques for amplifying nucleic acids. While conventional PCR employs a thermal cycler for repetitive cycling temperatures when amplifying, isothermal amplification techniques occur at a single and fixed temperature, allowing the use of simple,portable, and more robust instruments for fast and exponential amplification.
