I have to measure the lactate concentration in mouse blood over time. There seems to be several lactameters on the market (more or less similar to glycometers), however, the manufactures are not typical lab providers. Thus, it is difficult to know which to go for/trust.
In blood. I think I mentioned it in the description ;-)
Have a look to what these guys offer http://www.seahorsebio.com/
I have not used it myself but I have heard colleagues talking good things about it.

I’m curious, what method did you end up using? I’m currently using the iSTAT device to measure different blood gases along with lactate, but I‘m seeing odd lactate levels, even in my control mice. Taking blood from a cardiac puncture during harvest and immediately analyzing. Wondering if there is a more accurate way to measure for mice as this device is typically used for human patients.
