BST MAX DNA POLYMERASE

General description

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has emerged as a key alternative to polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques in the amplification of nucleic acids. While conventional PCR employs a thermal cycler for repetitive cycling temperatures when amplifying, isothermal amplification techniques such as LAMP occur at a single and fixed temperature allowing the use of simple, portable, and more robust instruments for fast and exponential amplification.
The Bst Max DNA polymerase is an in-silicon designed homolog of Bst DNA Polymerase (large fragment) suitable for DNA amplification at elevated temperatures with an optimum of 65°C. Bst Max DNA polymerase is a salt-tolerant recombinant polymerase (optimal salt concentration 50-350 mM) with more than two-fold enhanced strand-displacement activity and processivity when compared to Bst polymerase. The Bst enzyme is active from 25 to 65°C. It lacks 5’-3’- and 3’-5’-exonuclease activity.

Application

Bst Max DNA Polymerase is

• Ideal for isothermal applications such as LAMP and RT-LAMP for its superior amplification performance and robustness, especially at point-of-care diagnostics
• Compatible with a wide range of buffer formulations and isothermal applications such as Ramification amplification (RAM), NEMA (Nicking enyzme-mediated amplification), HAD (Helicase-dependent amplification), MDA/SDA (Multiple/Strand displacement amplification), RCA (Rolling circle amplification), RPA (Recombinase Polymerase amplification)

Features and Benefits

• Efficient strand displacement activity allows the polymerase to amplify at a faster rate while displacing the second DNA strand during synthesis.
• High processivity ensures that the polymerase can amplify more nucleotides consecutively without dissociation from the DNA template
• Higher salt and inhibitor tolerance ensures enhanced amplification performance without the need for sample prep steps
• Ideal for amplification of most sample types, especially small and impure samples
• Triton-free formulation complies with the European Chemicals Agency’s REACH regulations to improve the protection of human health and the environment from risks that can be posed by chemicals
