An improved flame-photometric method for determining calcium in serum.

چکیده
Powell (1953) introduced a method for the estimation of serum calcium using the EEL flame photometer, and claimed that it gave results in good agreement with a standard titrimetric procedure. In this laboratory, both these methods were found to give low results when tested against standard sera, prepared by adding known amounts of calcium to serum completely decalcified by treatment with a cation exchange resin. The cause of these low results has been established, and modified procedures for avoiding them have been developed.

The convenience and accuracy of flame photometric methods for the determination of sodium and potassium in body tissues and fluids suggest the desirability of determining other cations such as calcium and magnesium in the same sample. While reliable procedures for the determination of sodium and potassium have been developed (1, 2), there are apparently no satisfactory flame spectrophotometric ...

Flame photometry has many applications, and in the clinical field its use in the estimation of serum sodium and potassium is now well established. Difficulties have been encountered in the estimation of serum calcium by flame photometry, since the emission spectrum of calcium is relatively weak and is subject to interference by the presence of other ions, e.g., sodium. Although many methods hav...

The convenience and accuracy of flame photometric determinations of sodium and potassium in biological fluids (1, 2) have suggested the desirability of extending these advantages to determinations of calcium. Since calcium emission lines are much less intense than those of sodium and potassium (3), the samples of diluted serum (1: 50) customarily used for sodium and potassium determinat.ions ar...
متن کاملAn automated method for serum calcium utilizing ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid.
A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFICULTY in estimating calcium in serum by photometry arises from the fact that the normal range is narrow relative to the concentration of calcium. In the cases of sodium and chloride which also possess narrow normal ranges, the automation problem has been approached in two different ways. For sodium the Technicon Flame Photometer incorporates an electrical range expander. In t...
