QuantiQuik™ D-Lactic Acid Quick Test Strips

• Fast and sensitive. Use of 20 or 100 µL sample. Semi-quantitative measurement between 0-180 mg/L (undiluted) D-Lactate.

• Convenient. No extra equipment required. 

• Sample treatment and assay can be performed in under 15 minutes.

LACTATE is generated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) under hypoxic or anaerobic conditions. D-lactate is produced in only minor quantities in animals and measuring for D-lactate in animal samples is a means to determine the presence of bacterial infection. Furthermore, since D-lactate is a specific indicator of bacteria fermentation, its measurement can be used to determine the freshness of milk, meat and fruit juices. Elevated levels of D-lactate in wine is an indication of lactic acid bacteria contamination. BioAssay Systems' QuantiQuik™ D-Lactate Test Strips are based on D-Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of D-lactate in which the formed NADH reduces a chromogenic reagent. The intensity of product color, is directly proportional to D-lactate concentration in the sample.
