Lactate plays a crucial role in the anaerobic metabolic pathway of humans. In situations of oxygen deficit, its production increases; leading to several life-threatening conditions such as hemorrhage, respiratory failure, trauma or ischemia from lactate acidosis. Lactate level detection and point-of-care (POC) monitoring in a fast, accurate and non-invasive manner is ultimately important for many health care applications. Optical and electrochemical techniques are employed in lactate sensing to achieve high sensitivity and selectivity, miniaturization, portability, simplicity, and low cost. To improve the selectivity and sensitivity, two important enzymes, lactate mddase (LOx) and lactate dehydrogenese (LDH) are employed. Conventional methods for lactate detection are not fast enough to be used in point-of-care or personal health monitoring settings. Moreover, the existing point-of-care lactate sensing tools follow invasive or partially invasive sampling protocols such as finger pricking. In this review, a comprehensive overview of different lactate biosensing devices is presented. Particularly, the state-of-the-art and prospects of wearable, non-invasive lactate sensing from different biofluids are discussed.
