Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technologies (INAAT) Market is expected to reach $1.6 Billion by 2017

INTRODUCTION:

Isothermal amplification of Nucleic acid or DNA is carried out at steady temperatures as the term ‘Isothermal’ obviates the need for thermal cyclers. Nucleic acid amplification technologies are used as leading methods in detecting and analyzing nucleic acids. These are the emerging DNA technologies in the field of molecular biology. Nucleic Acid Testing promises rapid, sensitive and specific diagnosis of infectious, inherited and genetic diseases.

NEED FOR ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES:

Amplification of nucleic acids or DNA helps in detection and identification of infectious diseases, genetic disorders and other research purposes. The most widely used amplification technology is the Polumerase chain reaction (PCR) but as it requires a thermocycling machine to separate two DNA strands and then amplify the required fragment, the possibility of amplifying DNA in isothermal conditions is considered. DNA polymerase replicates DNA with the aid of various accessory proteins. Recent identification of these proteins has enabled development of new in vitro isothermal DNA amplification methods, mimicking these in vivo mechanisms.

Types  of isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods:

1.       Transcription mediated amplification.

2.       Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification.

3.       Signal mediated amplification of RNA technology.

4.       Strand displacement amplification.

5.       Rolling circle amplification.

6.       Loop-mediated isothermal amplification of DNA.

7.       Isothermal multiple displacement amplification.

8.       Helicase-dependent amplification.

9.       Single primer isothermal amplification.

10.   Circular helicase-dependent amplification.
