MIRA Reduces Nucleic Acid Testing to 20 Minutes
MIRA (Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Nucleic Acid Amplification) technology is ideally suited for on-site rapid nucleic acid detection. Based on the DNA recombination and repair mechanism in living organisms, it relies on the synergistic action of multiple functional proteins at a constant temperature to achieve rapid nucleic acid amplification.
The isothermal rapid nucleic acid detection technology, MIRA, accomplishes efficient and rapid nucleic acid replication through the coordinated action of five enzymes: helicase, recombinase, single-stranded binding protein, DNA polymerase, and accessory proteins. It offers high accuracy, sensitivity, speed, simplicity, flexibility, and portability.
Compared to PCR technology, which requires 1–2 hours of detection time and complex, bulky amplification instruments, MIRA holds significant advantages:
Fast: Completes nucleic acid amplification in just 5–20 minutes, greatly shortening detection time.
Accurate: Achieves single-copy sensitivity, on par with PCR; excellent specificity ensures precise target detection.
Simple: MIRA-based products – whether lyophilized reagents, compact portable nucleic acid amplification devices, or rapid detection kits – are designed for ease of use in on-site nucleic acid detection.
Versatile: Offers basic, fluorescence-based, and colloidal-gold-based isothermal nucleic acid amplification reagents that can be integrated with CRISPR, microfluidics, next-generation sequencing, and other technologies to meet diverse product development needs.
MIRA not only streamlines operational workflows, reducing detection time from hours to just 20 minutes, but also significantly lowers the requirements for specialized equipment, environment, and operator expertise. This liberates testing from the confines of the laboratory, making it applicable in scenarios such as:
- Rapid disease screening at primary healthcare facilities
- At-home self-testing
- On-site disease detection in farming and agriculture
- Law enforcement and regulatory inspections
MIRA and its products enable professional nucleic acid testing directly at the point of need, reducing cumbersome sample transfer and long wait times, thereby improving efficiency and lowering costs.
As a pioneer in MIRA technology, Amp-Future Biotech has developed a series of on-site rapid nucleic acid detection products based on this platform, including research-grade reagents and portable field-testing devices. These provide innovative and reliable tools for rapid, accurate molecular diagnostics, driving the democratization and real-time advancement of molecular testing technology.
