Specifications

D-Lactate production in mammals, mainly due to the glyoxalase pathway, is extremely low,
with normal serum concentrations in the nano to micromolar range. Typically, elevated Dlactate
levels which can rise to millimolar levels, are due to bacterial infection or short bowel syndrome in humans. Abnormally high concentrations of D-lactate are considered indicative of sepsis, ischemia or trauma. Due to slow metabolism and excretion, high D-lactate can cause acidosis and encephalopathy. The D-Lactate Assay Kit provides a fast, easy way to accurately measure D-lactate in a variety of biological samples. In the D-Lactate Assay Kit, D-lactate is specifically oxidized by D-lactate dehydrogenase and generates proportional color (lambda-max = 450nm). The kit detects D-Lactate in samples such as serum, plasma, cells, culture and fermentation media. The useful concentration range in samples is 0.01mM--10mM Dlactate.
