About Lactate
Lactate is a targeted clinical chemistry laboratory test that measures or evaluates Lactate in the submitted patient specimen to support perfusion and sepsis assessment. It is commonly requested for perfusion and sepsis assessment, helping clinicians combine the laboratory finding with symptoms, examination findings and other investigations. A properly collected plasma/whole blood specimen is analysed using Enzymatic/electrode, with the reported value or finding interpreted against the laboratory's validated procedure and applicable reference information. Results should be interpreted in clinical context and should not be used in isolation to start, stop or change treatment without an appropriate healthcare professional.
Sample & Submission Guide
How to package the sample
Collect blood into the anticoagulant tube specified by the receiving laboratory, mix gently, and separate plasma by centrifugation within the required pre-analytical window. Transfer the plasma into a clean, labelled, leak-proof polypropylene aliquot tube without disturbing the cell layer. Keep the separated specimen chilled immediately and transport under controlled cold conditions because this analyte is time- and temperature-sensitive. Place the aliquot in a sealed biohazard bag with absorbent material and avoid unnecessary freeze-thaw cycles. For Lactate, use packaging and preservation compatible with Enzymatic/electrode; if the receiving laboratory supplies a dedicated collection kit, bottle or transport medium, that kit takes precedence over general packaging guidance.
