L-Lactate Assay Kit I

Lactate dehydrogenase converts lactate and NAD+ into pyruvate and NADH. The Lactate Assay Kit is based on the reduction of the terazolium salt INT in a NADH-coupled enzyme reaction to formazan, which exhibits an absorbance maximum at 490 nm. The intensity of the absorbance is proportional to the lactate concentration. Using a set of lactate standards, the assay can measure the concentration of lactate in samples (plasma, medium, or others) in a quantitative manner. The kit is stable until the expiration date under proper storage and handling conditions. The product is for research only.

Reagent Preparation

Note: All reagents are frozen. We recommend you spin small vials before opening.

1. L-Lactate Standards
The vial contains 1000µl of 3mM L-Lactate Standard. The standard must be equilibrated to room temperature before use. 1ml of the standard is enough for making 3 standard curves if assayed in duplicate. Store at -80?C.


2. L-Lactate Assay Solution
The solution contains enzymes that are light sensitive. The solution must be thawed on ice before use.Best to aliquot the amount needed and use it all to prevent thawing/freezing cycles.Freeze and store aliquots at -80 oC

Protocol

1.Sample Preparation

Serum/Plasma/other body fluid/cell culture supernatant
Serum, Plasma, other body fluid, or cell culture supernatant can be measured directly by a series of dilutions of the sample (1/2; 1/4; 1/8; .…..) to ensure the readings are within the standard curve.
Your samples can be diluted with dH2O.
Note: if samples (like hemolyzed serum/plasma or cell culture medium which contain FBS) contain high level of lactate dehydrogenase capable of converting lactate to pyruvate, it is important for the samples to be deproteinated.

Solid Samples
Solid samples, such as tissues, can be first homogenized and extracted with ethanol (80%) with a tissues/Ethanol ratio of 1:8 (1 hr at 4°C) followed by centrifugation at 10,000xg. The clear supernatants then can be measured directly by a series of dilutions of the sample (1/2; 1/4; 1/8; .…..) to ensure the readings are within the standard curve. Your samples can be diluted with dH2O.

Adding Samples
Add 50μl of samples to each well.
We recommend that samples be assayed in duplicate.

Note:
If prepared samples are not assayed the same day, store the samples at -80?C. If samples need to be deproteinated, make sure to deproteinize the samples prior to storing in the freezer. The deproteinated samples will be stable for one month while stored at -80?C. For frozen samples, dilutions of samples must be done right before assaying.

2.Standard Curve Preparation
We recommend that L-Lactate Standards be assayed in duplicate. A standard curve has to be run in each assay.
Add 50µl, 40µl, 30µl, 20µl, 10µl, 5µl, 1 µl, and 0µl of L-lactate Standard to each well. Then adjust volume to 50μl/well with dH2O.

3.Perform the assay

a) Add 50ul of L-Lactate assay solution to each well containing L-Lactate standards and test samples.
b) Incubate for 30mins at 37°C incubator. Note: Please do not use CO2 incubator.
c) Stop the reaction by adding 50 μl of 0.5 M acetic acid per well followed by brief gentle agitation. Note: Eliminate any air bubbles present in the wells using a needle prior to measurement.
d) Measure the absorbance at 490nM using a microplate reader.

4.Calculations

a) Average the OD490 nm values of replicate wells of each L-Lactate standard, test samples, and blank. In order to get the corrected absorbance, subtract the average OD490 nm value of the blank (L-Lactate Standard #8) from the average OD490 nm values from all standards and samples.

b) Make a standard curve by plotting OD490 nm values from each L-Lactate standards as a function of L-Lactate concentration. This can be done with excel spreadsheet. Calculate the value of L-Lactate in samples using the equation obtained from the linear regression of the standard curve.

L-Lactate(µM)= [ (Corrected absorbance)-(y-intercept)]/slope

Q. What type of medium should I use for making cultured cells for Lactate assay?
A. Please use phenol red free medium. Please do not use phenol red medium since phenol red would affectabsorbance readings.

Q. What enzymes is used in Lactate Assay?
A. It is LDH.

Q. Can you tell me the compositions of your Lactate Assay?
A. Unfortunately it is proprietary.


Q. How do I know whether I need to use L-Lactate or D-Lactate assay kit?
A. L-Lactate assay kits are commonly used for measuring lactate level in animal cells.
D-lactate assay kits are commonly used for measuring lactate level in bacteria cells.

Q. Do I need to make a standard curve everytime?
A. Yes, it is necessary since you calculate your sample concentration based on the standard curve. Please do not usethe representative Lactate standard curve in the protocol to calculate concentrations of your samples.

Q.Can I use fluorescence spectroscopy to measure readings for Lactate assay kits?
A. No, the kit does not work with a fluorescence reader since the kit employs colorimetric assays.

Q. How do I measure Lactate from cultured cells?
A. You can grow cells in phenol red-free medium, then you can extract cells with 80% ethanol.

Q. Can I use frozen samples?
A. Although it is better to use fresh samples for assays, you canuse frozen samples. If you are not using frozen samples in once, please make aliquots of your samples before you put them in a freezer to prevent from degrading samples from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Q. My sample formed preciptation after adding acetic acid. How can I prevent this?
A. You can still measure readings without adding acetic acid.
Q. The protocol recommends measuring the absorbance at 490nm. Is 485nm close enough?
A. It is ok as long as you set up the absorbance between 470 and 490nm.
Q. Will L-Lactate assay measure D-Lactate?
A. No, it wont.
Q. Can I use a transparent wall 96-well plate with Lactate Kit?
A. Yes, you can.

Q. Can Ethanol interfere with the enzyme?

A. The enzyme can tolerate up to 20% of ethanol without affecting it’s enzymatic activity with L-Lactate.
