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

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%.

The spectral interference caused by haemoglobin in the calcium-cresolphthalein complexone reaction was investigated. The results show that the nature of the haemoglobin derivative in the reaction mixture influences the degree of interference; in turn, the derivative formed depends on the

Saline aspirates have been commonly used in the biochemical investigations of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology. However, due to presence of adhesions in the diseased temporomandibular joint, full equilibration between the injected saline and the synovial fluid may not be achieved

Electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) was used for the determination of calcium. The faster analyte zone containing the calcium was injected spatially behind a slower zone of o-cresolphthalein complexone in a capillary electrophoresis based system.
