L-Lactic Acid Quick Test Strips

Description

• General description: L-lactic acid, or L-lactate, is generated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) under hypoxic or anaerobic conditions. L-lactic acid is added to many foods and beverages to give it a tart flavor. Increased levels of L-lactic acid in milk, egg, and fruit juices can be an indication of spoilage. In the wine industry, increasing levels of L-lactic acid and the decreasing levels of L-malic acid are monitored (Malolactic fermentation). In this process, the overall acidity of the wine is reduced and can lead to the improvement of the flavor of the wine.
• Application: The L-Lactic Acid Quick Test Strips are designed for determining L-Lactic Acid levels in the following applications:Food and Beverage TestingMonitoring malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wine production
• Features and Benefits: Rapid and Versatile: Provides fast results with the option of using 20 or 100 μL of the sample, enabling semi-quantitative measurement across a range of 0-360 mg/L (undiluted) L-lactic acid, accommodating diverse testing needs efficiently.Time-Saving: Completes sample treatment and assay in under 15 minutes, ensuring quick and efficient testing without compromising accuracy, saving valuable time for users.User-Friendly Design: Convenient test strip design eliminates the need for a plate or cuvette reader, simplifying the testing process and making it more accessible for users of all levels of expertise.
• Suitability: This kit is suitable for the detection of L-lactic acid in a variety of food and beverage samples.
• Principle: The L-Lactic Acid Quick Test Strips are based on L-lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of L-lactate in which the formed NADH reduces a chromogenic reagent. The intensity of product color is directly proportional to L-lactate concentration in the sample.
