LAMP is a relatively new DNA amplification technique, which due to its simplicity, ruggedness, and low cost could provide major advantages. LAMP has the potential to be used as a simple screening assay in the field or at the point of care by clinicians.[8] Because LAMP is isothermal, which eradicates the need for expensive thermocyclers used in conventional PCR, it may be a particularly useful method for infectious disease diagnosis in low and middle income countries.[9] While LAMP is widely being studied for detecting infectious diseases such as tuberculosis,[10] malaria,[11] and sleeping sickness.[12] In developing regions, it has yet to be extensively validated for other common pathogens.[8]
