The amplification efficiency of MDA (multiple displacement amplification) reaction rapidly diminishes as the molecular weight of the starting material decreases,
thus making the polymerase unsuitable for amplification of low-molecular weight DNA. However, it is suitable for amplification from extremely low amounts of starting DNA material, making it ideal for single cell analysis.
