Cell Biolabs Inc Lactate Assay Kit (Fluorometric), 100 assays

Supplier:  Cell Biolabs Inc MET5013

Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid that can ionize a carboxyl proton to yield the lactate ion, the latter of which exists as two optical isomers L-Lactate and D-Lactate. In the brain lactate, like glucose, is thought to be one of the main sources of energy. High levels of lactate have been found in the extracellular fluid surrounding neurons due to the high metabolic activity of glial cells. Cell Biolabs’ Lactate Assay Kit (Fluorometric) is a simple assay that measures the amount of total lactate present in biological samples in a 96-well fluorescence plate reader Sample lactate concentrations are determined by comparison with a known lactate standard. The kit has a detection sensitivity limit of 1.5 uM L-Lactate. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 100 assays, including blanks, lactate standards and unknown samples.
