LAMP (Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification) is a molecular biology technique used to amplify DNA. It operates at a constant temperature, typically between 60-65°C, which simplifies the process compared to traditional methods that require temperature cycling. LAMP uses specific primers and a DNA polymerase enzyme to create multiple copies of a target DNA sequence rapidly. This method is highly sensitive and can detect low levels of DNA, making it useful for various applications, including diagnostic testing for infectious diseases and genetic research. LAMP is also favored for its speed and ease of use, often providing results in under an hour.
