644 Schumann et al.: IFCC reference procedure for lactate dehydrogenase
tamyltransferase, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Alanine
Aminotransferase and Creatine Kinase at 37°C.
A document describing the determination of prelim-
inary upper reference limits is also in preparation. The
procedure described here is deduced from the previ-
ously described 30°C IFCC reference method (1). Dif-
ferences are tabulated and commented on in Appen-
dix 1. Clin Chem Lab Med 2002; 40(6):643–648
Key words: IFCC reference procedure; Lactate dehy-
drogenase; Preliminary reference interval.
Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST,
aspartate aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydroge-
nase; NAD, β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide;
NADH, β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced
form.
Reaction Principle
L-(+)-Lactate + NAD+ –LDH→ Pyruvate + NADH + H+
Specimens
Calibration materials, control specimens and human
sera.
Measurement Conditions
Concentrations in the final reaction mixture and the
measurement conditions are listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Reagents
1. N-Methyl-D-glucamine, (C7H17NO5), Mr=195.22
2. L(+)-Lactic acid, monolithium salt (C3H5O3Li),
Mr=96.01
3. β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), free
acid (C21H27N7O14P2), Mr=663.4
4. NAD, lithium salt, dihydrate (C21H26N7O14P2Li . 2
H2O), Mr=705.4
5. Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Mr=36.46, 2 mol/l
6. Sodium chloride (NaCl), Mr=58.44
Note: NAD can contain inhibitors for LDH. The absence
of inhibitors should be declared by the manufacturer.
Reagents of the highest purity must be used. If a
chemical is suspected of containing impurities affect-
ing the catalytic activity of the analyte, further investi-
gations must be performed, e.g. comparisons with
products from different manufacturers and different
lots.
It is recommended to use reagents which have al-
ready been tested and approved in comparisons.
Charts for the Adjustment and the Control of the pH
Values (Procedure for the Adjustment of pH Values at
Temperatures Diverging from 37°C)
Both the thermometer and the pH electrode are sus-
pended in the mixed solution simultaneously. The
stirred solution is then titrated to the pH value listed in
the chart for the currently measured temperature. The
speed of agitation should be the same during the cali-
bration, the control and the adjustment of the pH value.
The pH electrode should be positioned in the centre of
the stirred solution.
The fact that the temperature can change during the
titration must be taken into account. For this reason, the
temperature in the proximity of the target value should
be controlled again and the target pH value corrected
according to Table 3, if necessary. The same applies to
the adjustment of the temperature compensation of the
pH meter.
Preparation of Solutions
The given mass of the compounds for the preparation
of solutions refers to 100% content. If the content of the
reagent chemical employed is less (e.g. yz %), the
amount equivalent to the given mass is calculated by
the use of a factor: Fcontent=100 / yz
Highly purified water with a quality comparable to
bi-distilled water (conductivity < 2µS/cm, pH 6–7, sili-
cate < 0.1 mg/l) shall be used for the preparation of the
reagent solutions.
The expanded (k=2) combined uncertainty (normally
distributed) of each weighing procedure (including the
uncertainty of the purity of the substance) shall be ≤
1.5%.

Schumann et al.: IFCC reference procedure for lactate dehydrogenase 645
Reaction solution
7.30 g (373.8 mmol/l) N-Methyl-D-glucamine
0.552 g (57.50 mmol/l) Lactic acid, monolithium salt
– Dissolve in about 80 ml water.
– Adjust to pH (37°C) 9.4 with 2 mol/l hydrochloric
acid.
– Transfer to a 100 ml volumetric flask.
– Equilibrate the volumetric flask and water to 20°C.
– Fill the water (20°C) up to the calibration mark of the
volumetric flask.
Stability at 2°C–8°C: 1 month
Start reagent solution
0.240 g (36.23 mmol/l) NAD, free acid
0.556 g (78.78 mmol/l) NAD, lithium salt, dihydrate
Note: The use of NAD free acid without NAD lithium
salt for the preparation of the start reagent solution (as
stipulated for the IFCC 30°C reference method) reason-
ably decreases the pH value of the final complete reac-
tion mixture.
A start reagent solution containing a mixture of NAD
free acid and NAD lithium salt has two advantages:
1. The pH value of the final complete reaction mixture
does not decrease.
2. The absorbance of NAD depends strongly on the pH
value but the change of the absorbance due to a
change of the pH value occurs not spontaneously.
Therefore, the reagent blank rate reaction remains non-
linear for about 4–6 minutes if NAD free acid as the
start reagent solution is added to the alkaline reaction
solution. This effect is considerably reduced if the start
reagent solution contains a mixture of NAD free acid
and NAD lithium salt.
Note: The above recommended NAD free acid/NAD
lithium salt mixture dissolves rather slowly. Raising the
temperature (up to 40°C) speeds up the dissolving
process.
– Dissolve in about 6 ml water.
– Transfer to a 10 ml volumetric flask.
– Equilibrate the volumetric flask and water to 20°C.
– Fill water (20°C) up to the calibration mark of the vol-
umetric flask.
Stability at 2°C–8°C: 1 week

Measurement Procedure
Equilibrate only an adequate volume (∼ 0.4 ml) of start
reagent solution at 37°C in preparation of the measure-
ment procedure. The remaining volume of the start
reagent solution should be stored at 2°C–8°C.
Pipette the volumes as listed in Table 4 one after an-
other into the cuvette.
Table 4 Analytical system for the measurement of the over-
all rate of conversion.
2.000 ml Reaction solution
Equilibrate to 37.0°C.
0.100 ml Sample
Mix thoroughly and incubate for 180 s. At the end
of the incubation time, the temperature of the
solution in the cuvette shall have reached 37.0°C.
0.200 ml Start reagent solution
Mix thoroughly, wait 90 s and monitor time and
absorbance for additional 180 s.
The expanded (k=2) combined uncertainty (normally
distributed) of the kinetic photometric measurement
shall not exceed 1%. (This uncertainty does not include
the uncertainty of the wavelength adjustment.)
The expanded (k=2) combined uncertainty (normally
distributed) of the volume fraction of the sample shall
be ≤ 1%.
Reagent blank rate
To determine the reagent blank rate, the specimen is re-
placed by 9 g/l (154 mmol/l) sodium chloride solution.
The measurement procedure is then carried out as de-
scribed above.
Sample blank rate
Due to the lactate content in the sample, it is not possi-
ble to determine the sample blank rate.
Upper limit of the measurement range
If the change of absorbance exceeds 0.00275 s-1 (0.165
min-1) in the measurement interval an analytical portion
of the sample must be diluted with 9 g/l (154 mmol/l)
sodium chloride solution and the measurement proce-
dure must be repeated with the diluted specimen. The
obtained value must then be multiplied by the corre-
sponding factor of the dilution.
Sources of error
If alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate amino-
transferase (AST) have been examined in the cuvette
prior to the LDH determination, a possible interference
of displaced LDH from AST/ALT test mixtures with the
measurements must be taken into account.
Calculation
The temporal change of absorbance (s-1) is calculated
with the analysis of regression (method of the least
squares). After subtraction of the reagent blank rate the
corrected change of absorbance is multiplied by the
factor:
F=3651 (measurement at 339 nm, ε339(NADH)=
630 m2/mol).
The catalytic concentration of LDH is calculated in
µkat/l.

Measurement time
180 s At least 240 s The reaction rate is not linear and the non-
linearity proportionally increases with the

Shorter measurement time implies less non-
linearity.

were adapted to the new volume fractions
(the volume fraction of sample changes from
1:21 to 1:23).
Start reagent solution
Aqueous mixture of NAD Aqueous solution of NAD The use of the free acid as start solution
free acid and NAD lithium salt free acid changes the pH value of the reaction
mixture. The mixture of free acid and lithium
salt is more stable and the non-linearity of
the reagent blank rate is reduced.

absorbance data processing. Several readings ≥ 6 should
ensure a sufficient precision of the measure-
ment results. Devices for a continuous
monitoring are no longer in use.
Determination of the slope (time versus absorbance)

least squares necessary to ensure the reproducibility of the
calculation of the slope.

Appendix 1: Changes in the IFCC Reference Procedure
for Measurements at 37°C Compared with the
Reference Method for Measurements at 30°C as
Described in the Original IFCC Document
The primary reference procedure is deduced from the
IFCC reference method (1) which provides optimised
conditions for the measurement of catalytic activity
concentrations of LDH. The measurement temperature
of 37°C instead of 30°C requires only minimal changes
of certain measurement parameters to retain the opti-
mum measurement conditions. The modifications are
listed and commented on in Table 5. Furthermore, if in
comparison to the 30°C reference method a more ac-
curate specification has become necessary for improv-
ing the high standardisation of the measurements, it is
also described here.
