We describe an automated enzymatic reaction-rate method for spectrophotometric determination of lactate in serum with a miniature centrifugal analyzer. The L(+)-lactate is selectively oxidized in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) and NAD+ to from NADH, whitch is measured from its absorption. Reaction rates are determined automatically, and unknown concentrations are calculated from a computer0generated calibration curve with aqueous lithium lactate standards. Lactte concentrations in the range 0.32-1.6 µg/4 µl (80-400 mg/liter) of sample were determined with relative errors and coefficient of variation of 4.8%. Analytical recovery of lactate added to pooled serum was 89-112% (average, 101%). Comparison with a kit ("Rapid Lactate") method gave a correlation coefficient squared of 0.979 over a concentration range of 39-779 mg/liter.
