The reasons for the non-linearity of the standard curve for the calcium-cresolphthalein complexone reaction have been investigated. Calcium forms both 1:1 and 2:1 complexes with cresolphthalein complexone; at low calcium concentrations the 1:1 complex predominates and causes non-linearity. At high

We adapted a method for dialyzable calcium from fluorometric detection by use of calcein to a more specific spectrophotometric determination with cresolphthalein complexone. The reagents are available commercially and perform satisfactorily with respect to noise level, drift, stability, and sensitivity.
Improved linearity of the calcium-cresolphthalein complexone reaction with sodium acetate.

To measure serum calcium concentration with three different analytic methods after administration of gadoversetamide and three other gadolinium chelates in dogs. Six dogs were injected with 0.1-, 0.3-, 1.0-, and 3.0-mmol/kg doses of gadoversetamide; 1.0-mmol/kg doses of gadodiamide, gadopentetate, and

An automated calcium method based on o-cresolphthalein complexone chemistry and designed to be used in conjunction with the Beckman ASTRA systems (Beckman Instruments, Inc., Brea, CA) was evaluated. Day-to-day reproducibility studies yielded coefficients of variation ranging from 1.2 to 3.1%.
