Fluorescent Lactate Detection Kit

This kit provides a reliable, sensitive fluorometric method for the quantification of lactate in biological samples such as serum, plasma, urine, and tissue extracts. The assay plate can be incubated and read in 15-30 min.

Lactate is an intermediate product of carbohydrate metabolism. Of the two forms of Lactate, D- and L-, the L-lactate is the predominant isomer found in biological systems. L-lactate is formed during the anaerobic glycolysis by conversion of pyruvate to L-lactate by lactate dehydrogenase. Lactate level is an indicator for tissue oxygen demand and utilization. Abnormally high lactate levels are associated with diseases such as diabetes and lactate acidosis.
Our lactate assay is a lactate oxidase-based method for detecting L-lactate in biological samples such as serum, plasma, blood, urine, and tissue extracts. In the assay, lactate oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate, along with the concomitant reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The detection utilizes a non-fluorescent detection reagent, which is oxidized in the presence of horseradish peroxidase and LOX to produce its fluorescent analog.

Small volumes of Fluorescent Lactate kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS258439 is a kit targeting Fluorescent Lactate. Also known as Fluorescent Lactate Detection Kit.
