Molecular principle - RT-LAMP

OSNA stands for One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification. OSNA is an automated procedure which provides a quantitative measurement of mRNA expression. OSNA uses an isothermal amplification method (RT-LAMP*) which offers the following advantages:

• Amplification time is only 16 minutes.
• Undesired amplification of genomic DNA is avoided.
• High specificity due to 6 different optimised primers.
• No prior purification of RNA is necessary.
• Fully automated amplification and detection using the » RD-100i.
• Easy to use without knowledge in molecular technologies.
