Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification

Loop-mediated Isothermal amplification (LAMP), is an emerging technology that allows DNA amplification at a constant temperature. The key to this principle is the use of a DNA polymerase that possesses strand displacement activity. As a result of this property there is no need for heat denaturation of double stranded DNA in order to allow primer annealing and subsequent amplicon elongation.
