LAMP relies on DNA amplification via auto-cycling
mediated by a DNA polymerase that displaces target strand
DNA and creates new targets as it amplifies. The process
requires two primer sets, inner and outer, which recognize
six specific sites and thus provide more specificity than the
traditional PCR (an animation of the process can be
found at http://loopamp.eiken.co.jp/e/lamp/anim.html).
The LAMP product is a combination of various lengths of
amplified DNA (the description given is that of a
cauliflower-like DNA structure) [12, 15].
