Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) of Human Apolipoprotein L1 Gene

Nina Egeler, Steffen Riethmüller, Arora Phang Lab Academy

The recent COVID-19 pandemic showed a silver lining in the molecular biology world by spurring on improvements in many methods especially in the detection of nucleic acids. “Loop-mediated isothermal amplification” (LAMP) has become a popular detection method due to its operation simplicity and rapidity. Using the WarmStart® Colorimetric LAMP 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs®), the human apolipoprotein L1 gene (ApoL1) was detected in just 30 min with the Eppendorf ThermoMixer® C and the Eppendorf ThermoTop®. Additionally, even very low template DNA amounts of 0.1 ng were detectable by simply extending the incubation time to 45 min.
