Where to buy a Lactate test machine

[Gert van Wyk7]

Does anyone know where to buy a handheld lactate test machine, like a glucose meter but measuring lactate? I saw you can get them from Alibaba but I don't know about quality and also scared you might not be able to get the same strips once you buy the machine.

Go to a big pharmacy and you'll find it , testers have come down in price dramatically

 

my glucose tester used to be 4k in 2013 and i pick them up for 230 from dischem these days

What are you going to use it for? Just asking out of interest.

The pharmacies don’t keep them; too specialised for them.
