  2. Reverse Transcription Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Transcription_Loop...

    The outer primers(F3 and B3) anneal to the template strand and help the reaction to proceed. As in the case of RT-PCR , the RT-LAMP procedure starts by making DNA from the sample RNA. This conversion is made by a reverse transcriptase , an enzyme derived from retroviruses capable of making such a conversion. [ 15 ]

    A strip of eight PCR tubes, each containing a 100 μL reaction mixture Placing a strip of eight PCR tubes into a thermal cycler. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample rapidly, allowing scientists to amplify a very small sample of DNA (or a part of it) sufficiently to enable detailed study.

  4. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcription...

    Two-step RT-PCR, as the name implies, occurs in two steps. First the reverse transcription and then the PCR. This method is more sensitive than the one-step method. Kits are also useful for two-step RT-PCR. Just as for one-step PCR, use only intact, high-quality RNA for the best results. The primer for two-step PCR does not have to be sequence ...

    COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit; the timer is provided by the user. Mucus from nose or throat in a test liquid is placed onto a COVID-19 rapid antigen diagnostic test device. COVID-19 rapid testing in Rwanda. An antigen is the part of a pathogen that elicits an immune response. Antigen tests look for antigen proteins from the viral surface.

  6. NASBA (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASBA_(molecular_biology)

    Although RNA can also be amplified by PCR using a reverse transcriptase (in order to synthesize a complementary DNA strand as a template), NASBA's main advantage is that it works under isothermal conditions – usually at a constant temperature of 41 °C or two different temperatures, depending on the primers and enzymes used. Even when two ...

  7. Real-time polymerase chain reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_polymerase_chain...

    However, dsDNA dyes such as SYBR Green will bind to all dsDNA PCR products, including nonspecific PCR products (such as primer dimer). This can potentially interfere with, or prevent, accurate monitoring of the intended target sequence. In real-time PCR with dsDNA dyes the reaction is prepared as usual, with the addition of fluorescent dsDNA dye.

  8. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplex_polymerase_chain...

    The primer design for all primers pairs has to be optimized so that all primer pairs can work at the same annealing temperature during PCR. Multiplex-PCR was first described in 1988 as a method to detect deletions in the dystrophin gene. [1] It has also been used with the steroid sulfatase gene. [2]

  9. Primer dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_dimer

    A primer dimer (PD) is a potential by-product in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a common biotechnological method. As its name implies, a PD consists of two primer molecules that have attached ( hybridized ) to each other because of strings of complementary bases in the primers.
