The relationship between reaction time and the absorbance of the reaction tubes. Colorimetric dye can be used with pyrophosphatase. Pyrophosphate, a by-product of the LAMP reaction, attenuates the activity of DNA polymerase. The addition of pyrophosphatase can increase the LAMP reaction speed. *, Bst DNA Polymerase (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MS, USA) & conventional LAMP reagent; **, Isothermal Master Mix (no dye; Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Tochigi, Japan); PC, positive control; NC, negative control.
