Blood Lactate Measuring Meter Optimizes Endurance Training and Conditioning. It allows fast and almost painless testing.
The test
The Lactate Plus meter quantifies blood lactate — a muscle performance indicator — very quickly using just a small drop of blood. This offers an almost painless, fast and precise test for lactate.
Blood lactate is the premier indicator of aerobic conditioning for coaches and athletes and is a key predictor of performance.
Fast analysis time
The Lactate Plus delivers results in just 13 seconds, enabling athletes to rapidly assess their performance and adjust the training strategies.
Lab-like accuracy
The Lactate Plus is a product of Nova Biomedical, a world-class leader in hospital-based blood lactate analyzers. Nova analyzers are used in more hospitals across the world than analyzers from any other company. The Lactate Plus meter incorporates the same high standards of reliability and accuracy required for hospital use.

Eliminates calibration codes
Most lactate test strips require a special calibration code which must be entered manually or a coding strip must be inserted prior to testing with each new lot of test strips. Using an incorrect code can alter the result by as much as 30%.
By contrast, the Lactate Plus does not need coding strips or calibration codes, preventing both a source of error and a time-intensive step.
Less pain
Lactate tests performed on other meters are quite painful and, therefore, hard to integrate into regular training. Such tests also require 5 to 25 µL of blood and need a wide-gauge lance to penetrate the skin deeply enough to achieve a large specimen.
The Lactate Plus needs just 0.7 µL of blood, enabling the use of the most shallow, thinnest and least painful lancing devices available. This boosts the athlete’s tolerance for testing.
Low cost
The Lactate Plus meters and strips are less expensive than a majority of other analogous devices.
