Descrição:
Saphir Bst Polymerase is a genetically improved Bst polymerase for rapid and specific amplification of DNA at constant temperature (60 to 65 °C). The enzyme shows high strand displacement activity and generates an amplification factor of up to 109 which is comparable to approx. 30 cycles in a PCR assay. This allows detection of a target gene within 10-30 minutes.

Detection
Although some methods have been developed to visualize DNA amplification by basic equipment or even the naked eye (increase of turbidity, color change of added dyes, hybridization to gold-bound ss-DNA) in general real-time detection of the DNA amplification by a fluorescent DNA-intercalator dye is recommended. Addition of a Fluorescent DNA Stain to the assay allows a sensitive measurement of the increasing amount of DNA without influence on the reaction.

Assay design
Isothermal amplification is an extremely sensitive detection method and care should be taken to avoid contamination of set-up areas and equipment with DNA of previous reactions. A common problem is amplification in no-template controls due to
1. carry-over contamination or
2. amplification of unspecifically annealed primers or primer dimer formations.
As sensitivity and non-template amplification of in-silico designed primers may vary, the evaluation of 2-4 real primer sets before choosing a final set is recommended.

Assay set-up
Depending on the detection method and machine a reaction volume of 20-50 μl is recommended for most applications. Pipet with sterile filter tips and perform the set-up in an area separate from DNA preparation or analysis. No-template controls should be included in all amplifications.
First, prepare a 10x conc. primer pre-mix. Second, set-up the isothermal amplification assay:
