LAMP primer design for rapid field diagnostics.

EasyLamp is our webtool for designing and evaluating LAMP primer sets for rapid, field-compatible nucleic-acid detection workflows. It is intended to support outbreak preparedness, surveillance assay development and fast prototyping of deployable diagnostics.

What it helps with

From target sequence to candidate LAMP assay.

EasyLamp provides a practical route for primer-set generation and prioritisation, helping researchers move quickly from viral sequence information to candidate assays that can be tested experimentally. It uses a novel LLM model to rank primers, filter them accordingly and offers high-accuracy & success.

Designed for Pandemic Preparedness

The tool fits into a broader rapid-response pipeline: sequence acquisition, conserved-region selection, evolutionary taxonomy, primer design, in silico checking, laboratory validation, AI-retraining and field-compatible assay optimisation. Rapidly deployable for new pathogens and pre-trained. Focusing on the WHO top priority pathogens > Expanding to all known pathogens

Fast assay prototyping

Generate candidate LAMP primer sets for emerging or under-surveilled pathogens where rapid testing capacity is needed.

Surveillance-ready thinking

Designed around practical diagnostic development, including compatibility with field-oriented workflows and iterative validation.

Pandemic Preparedeness

Rapid diagnostics, viral surveillance, metagenomics and preparedness technologies for zoonotic pathogens. We're rapidly adapting this for the latest outbreaks like Ebola and Hantavirus. Contact us for collaborations!
