We have developed an assay system for measuring lactate in whole blood, consisting of a single-use strip of an enzyme-coated electrode and a small meter. The electrode strip is made of three plastic films: a cover sheet, a spacer, and an insulation layer printed with electrodes that are coated with lactate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.x) and ferricyanide as an electron mediator. The meter measures the magnitude of the anodic current of the reduced mediator by the enzymatic reaction and displays the lactate concentration 60 s after a blood sample (5 microL) is applied. The calibration curve was linear up to 20 mmol/L, and the between-run CVs at three concentrations were 1.7-8.4%. Lactate concentrations determined by this method (y) in blood samples from healthy individuals before and after exercise agreed with the results obtained by the conventional enzymatic method (x): y = 0.97x - 0.3, Sy/x = 0.7. This assay provides a rapid and convenient test for measuring blood lactate concentrations.
