Related Product Information for LDH-Cytotoxicity assay kit
Product Information: Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Cytotoxicity Assay Kit: Quantitate Cytotoxicity based on the Measurement of Activity of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released from damaged cells. Rapid, Sensitive, Convenient Colorimetric Assay. 400 Assays.

Background: Cell death or cytotoxicity is classically evaluated by the quantification of plasma membrane damage. The LDH-Cytotoxicity Assay Kit provides a fast and simple method for quantitating cytotoxicity based on the measurement of activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released from damaged cells. Unlike many other cytoplasmic enzymes which exist in many cells either in low amount (e.g., alkaline and acid phosphatase) or unstable, LDH is a stable cytoplasmic enzyme present in all cells and rapidly released into the cell culture supernatant upon damage of the plasma membrane. LDH activity can be determined by a coupled enzymatic reaction: LDH oxidizes lactate to pyruvate which then reacts with tetrazolium salt INT to form formazan. The increase in the amount of formazan produced in culture supernatant directly correlates to the increase in the number of lysed cells. The formazan dye is water-soluble and can be detected by spectrophotometer at 500 nm. The LDH-cytotoxicity assay is sensitive, convenient, and precise, and is applicable to a variety of cytotoxicity studies. Assay takes ~0.5-1 hr.

Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (500 nm)
Sample type- Cell culture (adherent and suspension)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- This assay provides a convenient and non-radioactive alternative to the [3H]-thymidine and the [51Cr] release assays The assay is based on measurement of activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) which is a stable enzyme normally found in the cytosol of all cells but rapidly releases into the supernatant upon damage of plasma membrane.

Product Notes

The LDH-Cytotoxicity (Catalog #AAA841482) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "LDH-Cytotoxicity, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
