Which LAMP kit works better: NEB or ThermoFisher?

01 February 2024 1 3K Report

Hello,

I'm currently in need of performing Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP). There are modifications in both the Bst DNA polymerases from NEB and ThermoFisher. Has anyone had experience using both of them? Can anyone recommend one over the other?

Thank you very much!

Jonathan Jonathan

I'd choose NEB than Thermo. Based on my experience, NEB offer more stability and processivity (Bst 2.0 and 3.0).
