Information d'application

Indications d'application: Direct Assays: Ca 2+ in serum, urine, saliva etc.
Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on calcium metabolism.
Food and Beverages: calcium determination.
Environment: calcium determination in water and soil.

Commentaires:

EDTA and other Ca 2+ chelators interfere with this assay. This assay can not be applied to plasma samples obtained with EDTA.

Protocole: Procedure using 96-well plate:
1. Transfer 5 µL diluted standards and samples into wells of a clear bottom 96-well plate. Store diluted standards at 4°C for future use.
2. Add 200 µL working reagent and tap lightly to mix.
3. Incubate 3 min at room temperature and read optical density at 570- 650nm (peak absorbance at 612nm).

Procedure using cuvette:
1. Set up test tubes for diluted standards and Samples. Transfer 15 µL diluted Standards and samples to appropriately labeled tubes.
2. Add 1000 µL working reagent and vortex to mix. Incubate 3 min. Transfer to cuvet and read optical density at 612nm.

Préparation des réactifs:

Prepare enough working reagent by combining equal volumes of Reagent A and Reagent B. Equilibrate to room temperature before use.

Calcul des résultats:

Subtract blank OD (water, #8) from the standard OD values and plot the OD against Ca 2+ standard concentrations. Determine the slope using linear regression fitting.
Conversions: 1 mg/dL Ca 2+ equals 250 µM, 0.001% or 10 ppm.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Détail du antigène

Antigène: Calcium

Classe de substances: Element

Sujet: Quantitative determination of calcium ion Ca2+ by colorimetric (612nm) method.
Procedure: 3 min.

CALCIUM is measured to monitor diseases of the bone or calcium regulation disorders. Increased calcium levels in serum are reported in hyperparathyroidism, metastatic bone lesions and hypervitaminosis, while decreased levels are observed in hypoparathyroidism, nephrosis, rickets, steatorrhea, nephritis and calcium-losing syndromes. Urinary calcium levels aid the clinician in understanding how the kidneys handle calcium in certain diseases of the parathyroid gland. Urinary calcium levels are also essential in the medical evaluation of kidney stones. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring calcium concentration in biological samples are becoming popular in Research and Drug Discovery. This calcium assay kit is designed to measure calcium directly in biological samples without any pretreatment. A phenolsulphonephthalein dye in the kit forms a very stable blue colored complex specifically with free calcium. The intensity of the color, measured at 612 nm, is directly proportional to the calcium concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation minimizes any interference by substances such as magnesium, lipid, protein and bilirubin.
