The Test
Lactate Plus measures blood
lactate (muscle performance
indicator) very quickly on a
very small drop of blood. This
results in a virtually painless,
yet fast and accurate, test for
lactate. Lactate is the premier
indicator of aerobic conditioning
for athletes and a key predictor
of competitive performance.
Less Pain
Lactate tests on other meters
are painful and therefore difficult
to incorporate into routine
training. They require from
5 to 25 microliters of blood,
requiring a deep, wide gauge
lance to pierce the skin deeply
enough to obtain a large sample.
Lactate Plus requires only 0.7
microliters of blood. This allows
use of the thinnest, most shallow,
least painful lancing devices
available, increasing the athlete’s
tolerance for testing.
Fastest Analysis Time
The older technology used by
other lactate meters requires
60 seconds for test results.
Lactate Plus takes only 13 seconds.
This speed means that lactate
testing will be less intrusive
on the athlete’s training.
Very Accurate
Lactate Plus is made by Nova
Biomedical, the world leader
in hospital-based, blood lactate
analyzers. More hospitals worldwide
use Nova for lactate measurements
than any other brand. The same
high standards for accuracy
and reliability that are required
for hospital use have been incorporated
into the Lactate Plus meter.
Eliminates Calibration Strips or Calibration Codes
All other lactate strips require
a unique calibration code to
be entered into the meter before
a strip is used. This code can
be entered manually or by inserting
a code strip which comes with
each vial of strips. These codes
are extremely important because
they can change the lactate
result by up to 30%, depending
on the manufacturing lot of
the strip. Failing to use a
code or using the wrong code
can result in very inaccurate
lactate results. Nova strips
do not need calibration codes
or strips, eliminating both
a time-consuming step as well
as a source of real error.
Low
Cost
Lactate Plus meters and strips
are priced less than most other
similar devices.
