Line 1: {{technical\|date=May 2014}} '''Transcription-mediated amplification''' ('''TMA''') is an isothermal (~~does~~performed ~~not change~~at the ~~nucleic acid~~constant temperature), single-tube [[nucleic acid]] [[Gene_duplication#As_amplification\|amplification]] system utilizing two [[enzyme]]s, [[RNA polymerase]] and [[reverse transcriptase]]. "Amplification" means creating many more copies of a strand of nucleic acid than was present at first, in order to readily detect it or test it. Rapidly amplifying the target RNA/DNA allows a lab to simultaneously detect multiple pathogenic organisms in a single tube. TMA technology allows a clinical laboratory to perform [[nucleic acid test]] (NAT) assays for blood screening with fewer steps, less processing time, and faster results.
