New handheld veterinary lactate analyzer

January 3, 2023
dvm360 Staff

The analyzer features species selection for dogs, horses, pigs, and cattle

EKF Diagnostics, a global in vitro diagnostics company, announced in a company release,1 the launch of a new version of its Lactate Scout analyzer designed specifically for use in veterinary settings. The new analyzer, Lactate Scout Vet, uses the same technology that was initially developed to provide sports coaches and athletes with a precise and easy-to-use handheld lactate test. According to the release, the new Lactate Scout Vet features species selection for dogs, horses, pigs, and cattle, making it ideal for use in both small and large animal practices.

Lactate testing is increasingly used in the veterinary clinic for prognosis and diagnosis in a number of clinical presentations, and it can be applied as a rapid triage and risk stratification tool assigning higher and lower risk categories. EKF Diagnostics hopes this new tool will provide fast, cost effective results that can now be readily accessible for veterinarians.

“With our vast experience in lactate measurement in the clinical diagnostics market, we are excited to launch our latest analyzer, Lactate Scout Vet, which is designed specifically for the veterinary market,” said Mike Salter, CEO of EKF Diagnostics, in the release. “We are already a well-established manufacturer, supplier, distributor and exporter globally of lactate analyzers, delivering dependable pre- and post-sales support. We pride ourselves on developing easy-to-use devices that provide reliable, fast and accurate results.”1

Lactate Scout Vet delivers accurate lactate measurements within 10 seconds, from just a 0.2 µL capillary blood sample, taken via earlobe prick. The handheld analyzer has quick and easy species selection options and can store up to 500 results. Lactate Scout Vet is a user-friendly device, and the simple to navigate e-paper display provides excellent readability in varying light conditions, as well as at different viewing angles.1 Lactate Scout Vet is lightweight at only 60 grams and pocket-size with dimensions of 91 mm (h) x 46 mm (w) x 21 mm (d).2
