It is possible to measure the lactate level in the blood using a device similar to a blood glucose meter. Just like a blood glucose meter, a small drop of blood must be drawn and applied to a disposable test strip. This process is rather tricky when exercising at high intensity, and stopping to draw blood will obviously interfere with the exercise level. Lactate meters cost $300-500, with this test strips costing around $2/each.There are three Lactate meters on the market, Lactate Pro, Lactate Scout, and Lactate Plus. A review<ref name="LactateMeters"/> indicated that the Lactate Pro and Lactate Plus had good reliability and accuracy, and the Lactate Scout was "relatively good", but not as good as the other two.
