Freezing provides a viable method for the prolonged, stable storage of blood lactate.
The only major methodological problem associated with the enzymatic determination of blood lactate levels is the stability of the metabolite in the perchloric acid supernatant. The data from this study show that freezing the protein-free supernatant provides a viable method for the prolonged, stable storage of blood lactate.
