FAQs
Q: What is measured in the LDH cytotoxicity assay?
A: LDH release, which indicates cell membrane damage. The assay is based on NADH-dependent reduction of a tetrazolium salt, generating a colorimetric signal.
Q: How long does the assay take?
A: Results are obtained within 30–60 minutes.
Q: Is it compatible with high-throughput assays?
A: Yes, optimized for 96- and 384-well plate formats.
Q: Can certain compounds interfere with the assay signal?
A: Yes, compounds affecting NADH-dependent or redox reactions may alter signal development in tetrazolium-based assays.
