Low-cost rapid diagnosis of viral diseases
Background/problem Detection of infectious diseases relies on amplification techniques of genetic material such as RNA or DNA. State-of-the-art amplification techniques include RT-PCR and RT-LAMP, both of which use a reverse transcriptase (RT) to amplify RNA. Usually, an RNA strand is reverse transcribed into comple­mentary DNA (cDNA), which is...

Br512: an improved DNA polymerase for isothermal amplification assays
Unmet need Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a technique that allows for nucleic acid amplification without the need for a thermocycler. This technology enables testing for infections practically anywhere. Testing shortages have exacerbated the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is a high demand for tests that can provide rapid results outside...
