More Details

LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (LDH) is an oxidoreductase which catalyzes the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate. When disease or injury affects tissues containing LDH, the cells release LDH into the bloodstream, where it is identified at higher than normal levels. Therefore, LDH is most often measured to evaluate the presence of tissue or cell damage. The non-radioactive colorimetric LDH assay is based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt MTT in an NADH-coupled enzymatic reaction to a reduced form of MTT which exhibits an absorption maximum at 565 nm. The intensity of the purple color formed is directly proportional to the enzyme activity.

Is there a difference in the values of samples that are run fresh (never frozen) and samples that have been frozen and thawed (single thaw)?

LDH activity in serum samples remains relatively stable if stored at -20°C, and there is no significant difference between fresh and frozen serum.

Does hemolysis affect the assay?

Hemolysis will affect the assay itself significantly and it will add a background caused by hemoglobin that may lower the sensitivity of the assay. Hemolysis will also change your sample drastically by releasing LDH from red blood cells into the serum. Thus, you will be measuring both, the regular LDH activity in serum, as well as the LDH activity caused by hemolysis. In fact, LDH can be used as a marker for hemolysis. If you want to determine in the LDH activity in serum, you must prevent hemolysis.

Is it possible to take down the substrate buffer solution in each well so that we could use more than 10 µL of our sample?

Yes, you can use (up to) 50 µL sample instead of 10 µL, plus 30 µL color reagent and 120 µL substrate buffer, if your sample has low LDH activity. This will increase the sensitivity of this assay.

Is this assay for lactate dehydrogenase activity affected by which anticoagulant is used in the blood draw?

Citrate, EDTA, and heparin, are all compatible with the QuantiChrom Lactate dehydrogenase assay kit when used as an anticoagulant for blood collection
