Hepatotoxicity Kit - Ready to Use

ACTIVTox accurately identifies liver specific toxins

The ACTIVTox cytotoxicity assay provides a quick, high through-put method for quantitatively measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from lysed cells in a colorimetric, non-radioactive system. The ACTIVTox cell line provides the user with a platform that emulates an adult liver system complete with physiologically regulated drug disposal enzymes.
