This kit utilizes L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) to catalyze the conversion of L-lactate to pyruvate, while simultaneously reducing NAD⁺ to NADH and H⁺. The generated NADH, through the electron-transferring action of phenazine methosulfate (PMS), reduces thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to formazan, which exhibits a characteristic absorbance peak at 570 nm. By measuring the change in absorbance at this wavelength, the L-lactate content in the sample can be quantitatively determined.
