| Description | Lactic acid is an important intermediate product in the metabolic processes of organisms, closely related to carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, and intracellular energy metabolism. Lactic acid concentration is a key indicator for evaluating glycogen metabolism and aerobicLactic acid is an important intermediate product in the metabolic processes of organisms, closely related to carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, and intracellular energy metabolism. Lactic acid concentration is a key indicator for evaluating glycogen metabolism and aerobic metabolism. Abnormally high concentrations of lactic acid are associated with pathological conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and lactic acidosis.The detection principle of this kit is as follows: Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate to pyruvate, simultaneously reducing NAD+ to NADH and H+. Further, through the hydrogen transfer action of 1-mPMS, WST-8 reacts to form a yellow, soluble formazan. The absorbance at 450 nm is measured to calculate the L-lactate content in the sample.Detection Range: 0.03-2 mMSensitivity: 0.03 mMApplicable Samples: Animal and plant tissues, cells, bacteria, serum (plasma), or other liquids.L1501211Component48T96TStorageL1501211ALactate Assay Buffer70 mL70 mL×22-8℃L1501211BLactate Dehydrogenase0.7 mL1.4 mL-20℃L1501211CLactate Dehydrogenase Cofactor0.5 mL1 mL-20℃L1501211DWST-8350 µL700 µL-20℃.

Sample PreparationNote: Fresh samples are recommended. If not used immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for up to 1 month. NADH or NADPH present in cell or tissue extracts can create background for lactate assay. To remove NADH or NADPH background, an equal amount of sample can be assayed without lactate dehydrogenase, and the background reading should be subtracted from the lactate reading. Endogenous lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) can degrade lactate. Samples containing LDH (e.g., cell culture medium, cell or tissue lysates) should be processed using a 10 kDa MW cutoff ultrafiltration tube (centrifuge at 12,000 g, 4°C for 10 min; follow the filter instructions) to remove all proteins. Use the filtrate for detection, then store at -80°C.3.1 Animal/Plant Tissues: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue sample, add 1 mL of Lactate Assay Buffer, and homogenize on ice. Centrifuge at 12,000 g, 4°C for 5 min. Transfer the supernatant to a new tube and keep on ice for detection.3.2 Cells or Bacteria: Collect 5×10^6 cells. Wash the cells or bacteria with pre-cooled PBS. Centrifuge at 800 g for 2 min, discard the supernatant. Add 1 mL of Lactate Assay Buffer, and disrupt using an ultrasonic homogenizer on ice for 5 min (power 20% or 200 W, ultrasonic 3 s, interval 7 s, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12,000 g, 4°C for 5 min. Collect the supernatant and keep on ice for detection.3.3 Plasma and Serum (Other Biological Fluids): Detect directly.4. Experimental Steps4.1 Microplate Reader Preparation: Preheat for at least 30 minutes, set wavelength to 450 nm.4.2 Working Reagent Preparation: 50 µL of Working Reagent is required per well.

It is easy to operate, has high detection sensitivity, low background, does not require the addition of secondary antibodies, and has strong system stability. The conventional Western Blot indirect detection process (blocking, primary antibody binding, and secondary antibody binding) requires a long time, a complex experimental process, and requires multi-step condition optimization. After transferring the protein on the gel to the carrier membrane, incubate it with the blocking solution in the reagent kit for 5 minutes, and then incubate the carrier membrane with the primary antibody treated with antibody reaction solution. After washing three times (5 minutes each time), luminescence or colorimetric detection can be performed. This reagent kit is designed for use in experimental systems where the target protein primary antibody is derived from mice.Notes:1. The customer prepares their own mouse source primary antibody.2. Before using Blocking Buffer blocking solution, Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse) antibody reaction solution (mouse), and Wash Buffer (10 x) rinse solution, please mix thoroughly.3. If there is precipitation in the rinsing solution when stored at 2-8 ℃, please restore it to room temperature, dissolve the precipitation, and use it normally. The 1x rinsing solution can be stored at room temperature for one month.4. It is recommended to stain the membrane with reagents such as spring red after the transfer is completed, and cut off any excess parts on the membrane to increase the efficiency of the reagents.5. The optimal dilution amount for primary antibody and antibody reaction solution HRP (mouse) needs to be determined through preliminary experiments.6. The antibody reaction solution HRP (mouse), antibody dilution solution, and antibody dosage can be increased or decreased proportionally according to the size of the membrane.7. The antibody dilution solution containing the first antibody can be recycled and reused once. It is recommended not to reuse antibodies with poor specificity and affinity. If the recovered antibody is used within 1-2 days and stored at 2-8 ℃ for long-term storage, please freeze it at -20 ℃ to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.8. If there is a high background, please adjust the amount of antibodies and increase the number of times the film is washed.9. All reagents in the reagent kit should be stored at 2-8 ℃ to avoid freezing and thawing.Operation steps:This product is suitable for the sealing and antibody incubation steps after membrane transfer, taking a 5 cm x 8 cm membrane as an example:1. Preparation of rinsing solution: Dilute 10 ml of Wash Buffer (10 x) with distilled water to 100 ml, which is 1 x Wash Buffer. Set aside. Use 8-10 ml for each film wash.2. Sealing: After the membrane transfer is completed, immerse the membrane in 10 ml Blocking Buffer and seal at room temperature for 5 minutes.3. Rinse: Pour off the sealing solution, add 8-10 ml of 1 x Wash Buffer, and rinse at a high speed on a shaker for 1 minute.4. Prepare antibody incubation solution while washing the membrane: Take Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse) 100 µ Add mouse derived primary antibody 3-10 into the centrifuge tube µ g. Suck and beat the gun head until thoroughly mixed, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. Add to 10 ml Dilution Buffer and mix well. Note: 1) The dosage of primary antibody can also be adjusted according to the dilution of the antibody. Taking the final dilution of antibodies at 1:1000 as an example, take 100 µ Add HRP (mouse) antibody reaction solution into the EP tube and add 10 µ Add the first antibody to 10 ml of antibody diluent, mix well, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. 2) If the membrane area is small, the amount of antibodies, reaction solution, and diluent can be reduced proportionally.5. After completing step 3, pour out the rinsing solution and add the antibody incubation solution mixed with primary antibody, Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse), and Dilution Buffer to the membrane (ensuring that the incubation solution completely submerges the surface of the membrane). Incubate at room temperature on a shaker at around 60 rpm for 40 minutes.6. Discard (recover) the antibody incubation solution and rinse 3-5 times with the prepared 1 x Wash Buffer, each time for 3 minutes. 7. Conduct subsequent testing. It is recommended to use ECL or DAB methods for testing.Application examples:Example 1 Antigen is 293T cell lysateA: Normal WB control: beta actin mouse monoclonal antibody (CW0096) 5 µ Incubate at room temperature for 40 minutes, wash the film and dilute the secondary antibody sheep anti mouse HRP (CW0102) 1:10000.
