Figure 5.
Analysis of the time-to-positivity values of the amplification reactions with decreasing distance of the hinge-primer to the outer primer. (a) Binding sites of the primers are illustrated for the Hinge-forward (LZ-HF) and Hinge-reverse (LZ-HR) primer with their respective outer primer LZL-389/LZR-653, LZF/R-2 and LZF/R-0. (b) Time-to-positivity values demonstrate the relation of primer distances (length of amplified product) and amplification kinetics. Both orientations of forward hinge-primer (white bars) and the reverse hinge-primer (black bars) are shown. The experiments were carried out in triplicate and standard error bars are shown in the figure.
