Comparison between 3 portable lactate analysers

Comparison between the following portable lactate analysers: Lactate Plus, Lactate Pro 2 and Lactate Scout +

Measurement of blood lactate response to exercise is very common in the physiological assessment of high performance in athletes. Many exercise physiology laboratories measure the blood lactate response to exercise together with other intensity parameters such as heart rate, power, oxygen consumption, etc. Lactate analysis can serve as an indicator of adaptation to training and […]

ECONOMIC COMPARISON BETWEEN THE LACTATE PLUS, LACTATE SCOUT+ AND LACTATE PRO2

At Laktate we wanted to make a comparative analysis of the 3 lactate analysers that we commercialize, but in this case from an economic point of view. We believe that this kind of analysis may be of interest, so that the users have a more objective view which can help them decide the type of analyser […]

Serial Blood Lactate Levels Can Predict the Development of Multiple Organ Failure Following Septic Shock

In this article, written in English by Jan Bakker, Philippe Gris, Michel Coffernils, Robert J. Kahn and  Jean-Louis Vincent, the authors examined the relation between serial blood lactate levels and the development of MSOF, or mortality, in patients with septic shock. We invite you to read the abstract of this article here, where we have […]

Occult hypoperfusion and mortality in patients with suspected infection

This article, written in English by Michael D. Howell, Michael Donnino, Peter Clardy, Daniel Talmor and Nathan I. Shapiro, aims to determine, in the early stages of suspected clinically significant infection, the independent relationship of the presenting venous lactate level to 28-day in-hospital mortality. You can find the abstract of this article here.
