Data treatment methods for real-time colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification reactions

ABSTRACT: With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the need for affordable and rapid mass testing, colorimetric isothermal amplification reactions such as Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) are quickly rising in importance. The technique generates data that is similar to quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), but instead of an endpoint color visualization, it is possible to construct a signal over a time curve. As the number of works using time-course analysis of isothermal reactions increases, there is a need to analyze data and standardize their related treatments quantitatively. Here, we take a step forward toward this goal by evaluating different available data treatments (curve models) for amplification curves, which allows for a cycle threshold-like parameter extraction.
