Lactate Biosensor
Pinnacle offers a LACTATE BIOSENSOR that is capable of providing real-time changes in lactate concentration in the brains of rodents. The lactate biosensor has outstanding performance characteristics and rejects all common electroactive interferents, including ascorbate. It has a linear range of at least 2 mM. We have successfully demonstrated that the lactate biosensor works in vivo and can provide continuous monitoring of brain lactate concentration changes for 96+ hours. This biosensor is warrantied for 21 days from time of shipment.
Pinnacle`s lactate biosensor functions by the enzyme-mediated processing of the analyte of interest. This results in the production of hydrogen peroxide that is then detected by oxidation at a Pt-Ir electrode. Electroactive interferents present in the brain are excluded via a passive selective membrane and through active removal when necessary.
LINEAR... SELECTIVE... FAST...
Pinnacle biosensors are selective for the analyte of interest and are linear at normal in vivo oxygenation levels over a physiologically relevant range, as shown in the diagrams below.
