Solution reagent kit C503-480

blood samplefor clinical chemistryfor urine samples

alcium reagent is used for the direct, colorimetric determination of calcium in human serum or urine. Number of Tests: 480 tests 4 x 120 mL bottles Method: Colorimetric Testing Procedure: Manual Wavelength: 570 nm Linearity: 20 mg/dL Expected Values: 8.5‐10.5 mg/dL Children under 12 usually have high normal value, which decreases with aging. It is strongly suggested that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values. Reagent Deterioration: The reagent should be discarded if: (1) Turbidity has occurred; (2) The reagent fails to meet linearity claims or fails to recover control values in the stated range. Limitations of Procedure: Substances that contain calcium or complex calcium should not come in contact with the test specimen. Examples: EDTA, citrate, oxalate, and fluoride. Specimens from patients receiving bromsulfophthalein (BSP) or EDTA should not be used. Lipemic or hemolyzed samples require a serum blank. Contamination of glassware with calcium (usually from detergents) will adversely affect the test. Use acid‐washed glassware or plastic tubes.
