“…For the optimization of reagents, a range of reaction temperatures (55, 58, 60, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, and 70 • C), a range of reaction times (15,30,45,60,75, and 90 min), a range of Mg 2+ concentrations (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 mM), a range of inner primer concentrations (0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2 µM), and a range of outer primer concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 µM) were evaluated under otherwise identical conditions. The LAMP reactions were performed in 200 µL microfuge tubes incubated in a water bath for 60 min at 65 • C. The reactions were halted by immersion at 80 • C for 5 min, at which point reaction products were detected by fluorescent LAMP and electrophoresis, following which LAMP reactions were completed.…”
