Lyo-Ready & Air-Dryable TM LAMP & RT-LAMP Master Mixes
Over the past decade, isothermal amplification techniques such as hybridized chain reaction (HCA), multiple displacement amplification (MDA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) have played an increasingly important role in point- of-care (POC) diagnostics. LAMP offers several advantages over qPCR and other amplification techniques in terms of sample-to-answer time, sensitivity, specificity, cost and robust amplification at a constant temperature. It is also simpler to operate and uses less expensive, portable equipment, making it ideal for field deployable diagnostics in resource-limited settings. LAMP based assays have been used for numerous applications including the detection of pathogens such as salmonella and malaria, genetically modified crop contamination and in forensics to specifically detect human DNA. In addition, RT-LAMP is widely used for screening for a number of pathogens, particularly RNA viruses, such as influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis C, West Nile fever, Dengue virus, Ebola virus and most recently, SARS-CoV-2. Ambient-temperature stability is particularly important in POC diagnostics. It reduces the cold-chain requirements for shipping and storage, extends the assay shelf-life, and increases the portability of the assay making it accessible to remote regions with limited resources. Meridian’s Lyo-Ready and Air-dryable ™ technologies simplify the development of ambient-temperature stable, multiplex molecular assays. They are 4x concentrated, glycerol-free and contain specialized excipients that are compatible with lyophilization or air-drying, requiring no further optimization besides the addition of primers and probes.

Blood-Specific Mixes
Blood
Blood is one of the most common specimens used for laboratory diagnostic testing and is useful for evaluating the function of vital organs and for diagnosing diseases such as bacterial and viral infections, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders including diabetes. Bacterial cell culture is regarded as the gold standard for microbial detection from blood as molecular methods to-date have lacked the sensitivity to detect bacteria at low concentrations due to the presence of assay inhibitors among other factors.

Saliva-Specific Mixes
Saliva
Saliva is ideal for use as a diagnostic specimen as it contains hormones, antibodies, growth factors, enzymes and microbes that can be used as biomarkers for disease detection. Saliva is easy-to-collect and allows non-invasive and simple sample collection/logistics, making it perfect for point of care testing. However, due to the low concentration of analytes and high concentration of inhibitors in saliva, its use in molecular diagnostics has been limited. Isothermal amplification such as LAMP is very tolerant to inhibitors and the simple workflow allows fast, sensitive, reliable results in clinical diagnosis.

Primers for CMV, ADV or HSV-2 were added to Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Saliva (MDX134) and lyophilized ( blue ) or added to NEB WarmStart® ( orange ) and kept as a liquid. The mixes were amplified using inactivated Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Adenovirus (ADV) or Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). Reactions were prepared in the presence of 30% human saliva, 30% Universal Transport Medium (UTM) + an artificial sputum swab and Viral Transport Medium (VTM). All reactions were incubated at 65 °C for 60 minutes, and average time to results (TTR) was measured at 1:10 of end fluorescence. Error bars represent the standard deviation across four technical replicates. Results show that MDX134 ( blue ) has a shorter TTR than NEB WarmStart® ( orange ) amplification across all three sample orange types. The data suggests that MDX134 performs better with faster amplification across the range of inhibitors.

Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Saliva (MDX134)
Amplification of Mycoplasma pneumoniae genomic DNA (200 copies) was compared using Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Saliva (MDX134) against NEB WarmStart® in samples containing 0% or 15% artificial sputum. Reactions were incubated at 65 °C for 60 minutes, and TTR was measured at 1:10 of end fluorescence. No NTCs were detected in this assay. Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Saliva (MDX134) with 0% ( light blue ) and 15% ( dark blue ) artificial sputum demonstrated stronger inhibitor tolerance, retaining its fast TTR in the presence of 15% artificial sputum. In contrast, NEB WarmStart ® with 0% artificial sputum ( orange ) amplified slower, as shown by a later TTR, than either reaction using Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Saliva. In addition, in samples containing 15% artificial sputum ( red ), NEB WarmStart® had a delayed amplification of 40 min and the longest TTR of all the reactions.

is crucial. This can be carried out using point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests that are simple to use, involve minimal-to-no- sample pre-processing, do not require cold room storage and are as sensitive and specific as laboratory-based tests. Assays using stool as a specimen can pose a substantial challenge for POC assays as stool samples can be complex, containing food debris, desquamated epithelial cells and mucus, and potential LAMP inhibitors such as bile salts, polysaccharides, hematin and catabolic substances. Meridian has developed Lyo-Ready Direct DNA LAMP Stool and Lyo-Ready RNA/DNA LAMP Stool mixes to combine high inhibitor tolerance with fast, robust isothermal amplification to enable highly sensitive direct detection using crudely processed stool samples. The mixes contain excipients and an optimized buffer system that is compatible with lyophilization to create ambient-temperature stable assays which have more than two-year’s shelf-life; and are uniquely designed to overcome very high concentrations of inhibitors and so do not require a DNA or RNA purification step to purify a patient sample.

Reactions were incubated at 65°C for 60 min and TTR were measured at 1:10 of end fluorescence. Error bars represent standard deviation over 4 technical replicates. At lower copy numbers, NEB WarmStart® (orange) exhibited significantly lower reaction reproducibility compared to Air-Dryable™ DNA LAMP Mix, and a lower TTR was observed for reactions using both Air-Dryable™ DNA LAMP Mix and Air-Dryable™ DNA/RNA LAMP Mix across all dilutions of the Hepatitis B gene and MS2-RNA respectively. The results therefore demonstrate greater sensitivity of Air-Dryable™ LAMP Mixes with shorter TTR across all template concentrations.
