RAA isothermal nucleic acid amplification

RAA (recombinase aided amplification) is an interesting and fast alternative to conventional PCR manufactured by Qitian Gene Biotechnology:

• as sensitive as PCR - but finished in 15 minutes - no need for a PCR cycler 
• real-time results in 5-10 minutes using fluorescence probes
• Well-suited for Point-of-Care (POC) applications
• freeze-dried reagent mix
