Portable lactate analysers have evolved in such a way that the volume of sample needed to perform the measurements has decreased considerably. This decrease in the amount of blood needed means that any contamination of the sample can present significantly altered values. Sweat, for example, has a much higher lactate concentration than blood and can […]
The calibration of the three portable lactate analysers that we market at Laktate is completed automatically when the test strip is inserted into the analyser. The Lactate Scout 4 and the Lactate Plus have control reagents (control solution), which are used to confirm that the device is working correctly. As the blood sample required for […]
In order to ensure that they retain all their properties, it is recommended that the test strips of the Lactate Scout portable lactate analyser are stored in the fridge with the bottle properly closed. (more…)
In this study, Yolbaş et al. aim to establish the connection between the levels of blood lactate and the mortality rate of critically ill children admitted to the ICU of a Turkish hospital. A total of 298 cases admitted to the ICU in 2007 were studied. Both the first measured blood lactate level and the […]
The Lactate Scout 4, in its Start and Field Case formats, includes the Lactate Scout Assistant software, a simple software that allows for the data stored by the Lactate Scout 4 to be captured and processed. The new Lactate Scout 4 analyser includes a Bluetooth chip that enables you to transmit the data stored in […]
