Because of the numerous islands and shallows found across the smaller lakes that make up this chain, Tiger Cat is a quiet lake alternative better suited for fishing and kayaking or canoeing than for jet-skiing or water-skiing.

usually refers to sodium bicarbonate (as in 'bicarbonate of soda' or 'baking soda'). In the body it is one of the most important extracellular buffers, and the bicarbonate level is an indirect measure of the acidity of the blood. The normal range for serum bicarbonate is 22-30 mmol.L-1.
Thread Tools. I have been reading up on the tests Labcorp offers and how they are performed. It looks like the test for blood CO2 is actually a test for bicarbonate and not a direct measure of CO2. The reason I am asking this question is that several websites suggest that high bicarbonate is associated with alkaline blood (which makes sense of course) and low level are associated with acidic blood.
