The result indicates that Tt value is related to the quantity of initial template, in the range between 2×103 to 2×109 copies, a plot of Tt versus the log of the initial template DNA shows a linear relationship (Fig. B). These results revealed that the calibration curve of the quantity of initial template, obtained using the real-time turbidimeter, can be applied in quantitative LAMP analysis of the target genes.
