Abstract: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification method. At a certain temperature, LAMP performed only one step to terminate the process. Due to its high efficiency, simplicity, rapidly, high specificity and the result of LAMP is easily detected by naked eyes, LAMP has been widely applied in the qualitative and quantitative detection of viruses, bacteria and clinical diagnosis of disease. In this paper, we introduced the principle of LAMP and its applicability in molecular detection and diagnosis.

Key words: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP), Nucleic acid amplification, Gene detection
