 YSI
1500 SPORT Lactate Analyzer for exercise physiology
 The
YSI SPORT takes the mystery out of training
As a coach starting the season, one of the first
things you do is pinpoint your athletes strengths and weaknesses
before setting individual training goals. This is time-consuming
work. YSI's portable lactate analyzer can make it easier and more
effective.
Many coaches already use lactate to set the
training pace for Olympic athletes, college and elite athletes.
In fact, lactate analysis is a standard measure of fitness in many
sports because it helps coaches regulate training and avoid overtraining.

- rowing
- cycling
- swimming
- triathlon
- speed skating
- skiing
 Measure
lactate anywhere
With the YSI SPORTTM,
you can monitor your athletes wherever they're training because
YSI put laboratory accuracy in a portable unit you can use anywhere.
- at poolside
- in the gym
- at the track
- on the slope
Easy to use
You may present blood samples—all you need is 25 microliters—to
the SPORT either with a blunt needle YSI Syringepet or Capillary
Tube Injector.
- 60-second results
- 150 results stored in memory
- time and date stamp
- athlete identification number
Using the capillary tube injector, it is easy to
present samples for analysis.
- Sample directly from athlete
- Minimal sample drawn
- Safe and effective
Laboratory accuracy
The broad measurement range—0 to 30 mmol/L—lets
you run any blood sample without dilution. High-accuracy measurements
assure repeatable trend information for all your athletes.
 Printer
or PC data link
The optional printer (YSI 1506, Hewlett-Packard
82240) gives you a permanent record via an infrared data link. You
can also transfer your data to a PC via the RS232 serial port.
Lightweight and Portable
At only 10 pounds (4.53 kg), the SPORT
is easy to carry—it is about the size of a laptop computer. One
battery charge operates it for 8 hours minimum. A full recharge
takes only 8 hours. All the reagents (in spill-proof bottles) and
accessories you will need for a day of testing fit conveniently
in the case.
Proven technology
The SPORT uses
YSI immobilized
enzyme electrode technology. A thin
film of lactate enzyme is immobilized within a membrane. Hydrogen
peroxide is produced when the lactate in the blood sample you inject
diffuses through the membrane. The hydrogen peroxide, measured at
a platinum anode, is proportional to the lactate in the sample.
Optional Preservative Collection Kit
In cases when you want to collect samples now
and analyze them later, YSI offers a kit that will preserve samples.
