Globally, there is a high demand to monitor and diagnose critical infectious diseases. Current molecular diagnostic tests require long “sample in - answer out” time and expensive equipment. Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology (INAAT) is an enabling technology possibly offering rapid, sensitive and specific molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases. However, the implementation of INAAT into Point of Care diagnostic platforms are halted due to a very limited selection of suitable enzymes, i.e. polymerases, performing at ambient temperatures. The overall goal with the project is to bring a panel of new and improved polymerase enzymes to market for use in next generation INAAT molecular diagnostic platforms and other potential application areas, e.g. next-generation sequencing and single-cell genomics.
