Have you guys attempted to use RTx + Bst 2.0 in place of Bst 3.0? Obviously this bumps cost but it could yield a time savings of 50% (at least according to the idealized NEB results). I wonder why RTx alone wasn't attempted since it is an engineered Kod polymerase (and as such should be very fast).

We have used RTx + Bst 2.0, which works fine. RTx alone would not allow LAMP amplification as far as I can tell. The reason we propose Bst 3.0 for large scale application is simplicity and cost, while reaction time might not be critical
