This kit is supplied with the WarmStart Multi-Purpose LAMP/RT-LAMP 2X Master Mix (with UDG) (NEB #M1708) featuring a blend of Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA Polymerase and WarmStart RTx Reverse Transcriptase in an optimized LAMP buffer solution. Both Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA Polymerase and WarmStart RTx Reverse Transcriptase have been engineered for improved performance in LAMP and RT-LAMP reactions. Also included is a 50X LAMP Fluorescent Dye for real-time fluorescence measurement.
The inclusion of dUTP and thermolabile UDG in the master mix reduces the possibility of carryover contamination, where unintended product of a previous amplification can serve as the substrate of a subsequent reaction. Thermolabile UDG is completely inactivated at temperatures above 50°C, thereby having no effect on the reaction.
