Evaluation of the revised serum calcium procedure used with the Du Pont automatic clinical analyzer. 1975

G W Sage, and D LeFever, and J B Henry

We evaluated a revised serum calcium method (o-cresolphthalein complexone) used with the Du Pont aca. Our results correlated well with those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry. Within-run and day-to-day coefficients of variation were 0.5 and 1.5%, respectively. Color produced and calcium concentration are linearly related and the relation is not affected by hemolysis, lipemia, or icterus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
