Severe hypocalcemia may require prompt intervention to avoid life-threatening consequences. We report a case in which a 78-year-old man had a critically low serum calcium level measured with use of standard colorimetric assay after gadodiamide administration during magnetic resonance angiography.

Clinical chemistry, 28(10), 2149-2152 (1982-10-01)
We describe the measurement of total calcium and magnesium in serum with an automated microcomputer-controlled stopped-flow analyzer. The calcium method is based on the cresolphthalein complexone procedure, with 2-amino-3-methyl-1-propanol as the alkalinizing agent. The assay, performed on 60-fold prediluted samples
R J Liedtke et al.
Clinical chemistry, 27(12), 2025-2028 (1981-12-01)
We describe an automated method for calcium assay, for use with the Cobas-Bio centrifugal analyzer. Calcium is reacted with cresolphthalein complexone and the absorbance of the calcium--dye complex at 575 nm is measured. EDTA is then added to break up
