Core Tip	In the past decades, introduction of molecular biology tools such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has entirely revolutionized the field of hepatitis B virus (HBV) diagnosis by allowing sensitive and specific detection of the virus in body fluids. In the recent years a number of isothermal nucleic acid amplification have also evolved, that provide certain advantages over PCR. These isothermal amplification techniques are comparatively sensitive, specific, require less instrumentation and automation. This manuscript reviews the advantages/disadvantages of prevailing isothermal technologies to serve as an assay selection guide for the readers, working in the field of HBV molecular diagnostics.
