Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Assay Kit (Colorimetric) ab102526 quantifies LDH activity in a variety of samples such as serum or plasma, tissue, cells, and culture medium.
In the LDH assay protocol, LDH reduces NAD to NADH, which then interacts with a specific probe to produce a color (OD max = 450 nm). The kit can detect 1 - 100 mU/mL of LDH directly in samples. The assay is quick, convenient, and sensitive.
LDH assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix
- analyze every 2-3 min for at least 30 min with microplate reader in kinetic mode at 37°C
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K726 Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit. K726-500 is the same size as the 500 test size of ab102526.
To measure LDH release into cell culture medium from cultured cells in a cytoxicity experiment, we recommend LDH assay kit ab65393, which is designed specifically as a cytotoxicity assay.
This LDH assay kit ab102526 is designed in a more flexible format for use with a variety of sample types (this includes cell culture medium, and this kit may be used in cytotoxicity assays). This flexible format LDH assay kit is also available as a fluorometric LDH assay kit ab197000.
How other researchers have used LDH Assay Kit ab102526
This LDH assay kit has been used in publications in a variety of sample types, including:
- Human: serum1
- Mouse: kidney tissue2, kidney epithelial cell line lysates3, muscle tissue4, serum2,5, vaginal lavage fluid6, liver tissue7
- Rat: H8C2 cell lysates8
It has also been used in LDH release cytotoxicity cell culture assays including in human hippocampal neuronal cultures9, THP-1 cells10, primary chondrocyte cells on a membrane scaffold11, primary lymphocytes12, ovarian cancer cells co-cultured with mouse splenocytes in a cytotoxic T lymphocyte assay13

Terms & Conditions.
LDH assay on mouse skeletal muscle.
Tam BT et al. used the LDH assay kit on mouse skeletal muscle tissue lysates comparing pressure-induced compressed and control samples across a range of knockout mice lines.
Kinetic profiles of approx 0.5 mU of a sample of pure LDH (Positive Control) and 2 μL frozen human serum using buffer as a background control.
NADH Standard Curve.
Cellular necrosis was measured as LDH release after cisplatin treatment for 24 h and 48 h using ab102526. The release of LDH was apparently increased at 24 and 48 h after cisplatin treatment.
