From endpoint vs. real-time detection to CRISPR integration and beyond, learn how to develop, optimize, and troubleshoot your RPA & RT-RPA assays in our resources below.
This document provides a comprehensive guide to designing, executing, and optimizing Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) and
Reverse Transcription RPA (RT-RPA) assays.
It consolidates key principles and best practices across both DNA and RNA workflows...
The RPA mechanism mimics natural DNA repair processes, utilizing a unique combination of enzymes to achieve exponential amplification without the need for thermal cycling. In the case of RT-RPA, the process integrates the synthesis of complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA...
While PCR and qPCR remain industry standards, their reliance on thermal cycling and complex instrumentation limits their utility in rapid, field-deployable, or point-of-care settings.
To address these limitations, isothermal amplification methods combined with CRISPR-based detection have emerged as powerful alternatives...
Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) supports diagnostic workflows by enabling rapid, precise, and adaptable nucleic acid amplification. As an isothermal DNA amplification method, it operates at constant, low temperatures between 37°C and 42°C, removing the requirement for thermal cycling...
