Fluorescently labelled quenched primers13 (link) were synthesised by Sigma with the fluorophore attached to the 5’ end of the oligonucleotide without further adaptation. JOE (6-carboxy-4’,5’-dichloro-2’,7’-dimethoxyfluorescein) selected for detection on the yellow channel of a Qiagen (Hilden, Germany) RotorGene thermal cycler. Labelled FIP LAMP primers for 35Sp and NOSt purified to the HPLC level (Table 3).
