Abstract
The invention provides sets of liquid reagents that afford calibration stability in an enzyme based spectrophotometric assay for the measurement of lactate in patient samples. The reagent sets include a lactate oxidase, a peroxidase, a hydrogen donor, an agent that substantially prevents ascorbic acid interference, and agent that substantially prevents bilirubin interference, a coupling agent, a buffer and, optionally, a preservative. The invention further provides methods for using the liquid reagent sets.
