8.2.9 L-Lactate
This is a direct reading of L-Lactate (L-Lactic Acid) in solution at the enzyme sensor. The enzyme L-Lactate Oxidase is
immobilized in the enzyme membrane.

Unit Conversion if concentration unit
conversion is required.
• If sample dilution is required, use reagent water.
• D-Lactate is not a substrate for L-Lactate Oxidase.
Therefore, the 2900 Series cannot directly measure
D-Lactate. If you have a known racemic mixture of
lactates, the L-Lactate value multiplied by 2 should give
you the total lactate value.
