The LDH Cytotoxicity Assay Kit is a colorimetric assay kit for the determination of cellular toxicity in vitro.
This assay kit measures the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from damaged and lysed cells in surrounding culture medium.
LDH is a stable cytosolic enzyme that allows the conversion of iodonitrotetrazolium (INT), a tetrazolium salt into formazan product in presence of an electron mediator. The amount of formazan produced is directly proportional to the release of LDH and thus, to lysed cells.

As opposed to WST-8 kit that uses the same read-out and offers the possibility to monitor cell proliferation, LDH cytotoxicity kit is more dedicated to measuring cell toxicity, late apoptosis or necrosis.
This kit is able to detect as low as 0.01u/mL of purified recombinant mammalian LDH produced in E.Coli.
In the following experiment, LDH lysis buffer was used to determine the linear range of the LDH cytotoxicity by measuring the spontaneous LDH release in HeLa cells. Culture medium was removed and replaced with 1X final lysis buffer to avoid background signal.
This kit is compatible with both cell suspension and adherent cells. Cell toxicity was measured after stimulation of KG1a cell line cultivated in suspension with ranging doses of H2O2 to induce cell death.
