Dilution of Sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (20-2000 U/mL).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| 10% Rat liver tissue homogenate | 3-5 |
| 10% Rat kidney tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Rat heart tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Rat brain tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Rat spleen tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Rat lung tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Mouse liver tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Mouse kidney tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Mouse spleen tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Mouse lung tissue homogenate | 1 |
| Human serum | 1 |
| Human plasma | 1 |
| Rat serum | 1 |
| Rat plasma | 1 |
Note: The diluent is extracting solution. For the dilution of other sample types, please do pretest to confirm the dilution factor.
Detection Principle
GDH catalyzes the dehydrogenation of glutamate, meanwhile, NAD+ is reduced to NADH, Which under the action of hydrogen transmitter, transfer electrons to WST-8 to produce the yellow product. The activity of GDH can be calculated by measuring the change of absorbance value at 450 nm.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 1.50 | 9.80 | 13.50 |
| %CV | 3.5 | 3.2 | 2.3 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 1.50 | 9.80 | 13.50 |
| %CV | 3.7 | 4.1 | 4.2 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 98%.
| Standard 1 | Standard 2 | Standard 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (mmol/L) | 0.07 | 0.23 | 0.35 |
| Observed Conc. (mmol/L) | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.4 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 101 | 104 | 104 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.54 U/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
Standard Curve
As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:
| Concentration (mmol/L) | 0 | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.25 | 0.30 | 0.40 | 0.50 |
| Average OD | 0.049 | 0.115 | 0.201 | 0.363 | 0.439 | 0.531 | 0.696 | 0.889 |
| Absoluted OD | 0.000 | 0.066 | 0.152 | 0.314 | 0.390 | 0.482 | 0.647 | 0.840 |
