Abstract
Compositions, methods, and kits for synthesizing, detecting, and/or quantifying nucleic acids are provided herein. Embodiments comprise a nucleic acid amplification composition comprising a thermostable DNA polymerase and agents which improve nucleic acid synthesis, amplification, detection, and/or quantification of nucleic acid targets in a crude extract or crude lysate sample.
Claims27
-59. (canceled)
A composition comprising:
- a thermostable DNA polymerase;
- at least one salt;
