Tanner et al. 2010, Evaluation of three portable blood lactate analysers

Eur J Appl Physiol comparison of the Lactate Pro, Lactate Scout and Lactate Plus against a laboratory analyser. The Pro and Plus showed good reliability and accuracy (typical error ~0.4-0.5 mM; Lactate Plus standard error of estimate ~0.6 mM), while the Scout was less reliable (typical error ~0.8-1.0 mM, SEE ~1.1 mM). Finger sampling adds variability, partly from milking the finger. Moderate-strong.
