IsoFast® Hot Start Bst Mix
IsoFast® Hot Start Bst Mix is the most recent and improved development of isothermal amplification technology, designed to deliver unparalleled specificity and speed in DNA amplification processes. This mix is suitable for applications such as multiple displacement amplification, isothermal amplification, loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), molecular diagnostics and field diagnostics.
IsoFast® Hot Start Bst Mix is a 2x mix that includes IsoFast® Hot Start Bst Polymerase - a recombinant version of the large fragment of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly known as Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bst) DNA Polymerase. It is engineered to retain 5’-3’ polymerase activity, but lacks 5’-3’ exonuclease activity. The enzyme’s strong strand displacement capability eliminates the need for denaturation required by standard PCR. Combined with powerful hot start technology, to minimise primer dimer formation and non-specific target amplification, this novel formulation is ideal for non-PCR based amplification.
