Biological Activity
(L)-Sodium lactate (Sodium L-Lactate) is produced from pyruvate by the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase. Lactate production occurs during anaerobic glycolysis or in proliferatively active cells. L-Lactic Acid occurs in small quantities in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. L-Lactic acid is also present in liver, kidney, thymus gland, human amniotic fluid, and other organs and body fluids.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
It is recommended to sonicate at a lower frequency
Use a bath-type ultrasonic cleaner at standard cleaning frequency (37–40 kHz). Bath sonication is gentler than a probe sonicator and avoids sample overheating. Sonicate in 5–10 second intervals, checking solubility between pulses, for no more than 2–3 minutes total. Warm the bath to 37 °C if solubility remains poor.
