"I have used several kits to detect lactate and had issues with consistency. However, this kit was very simple to use and can be combined with other kits to detect different metabolites and cell numbers."
The Lactate-Glo™ Assay is a bioluminescent assay for rapid, selective and sensitive detection of L-lactate in biological samples. Lactate is produced by glycolysis, a major metabolic pathway responsible for glucose homeostasis and energy production (1,2). Once considered merely a byproduct of glycolysis, lactate is now considered an important regulatory molecule of intermediate metabolism involved in cancer development, diabetes and other diseases
