o-Cresolphthalein Complexone is a pH indicator dye commonly used for the calorimetric determination of calcium in serum.
Application
o-Cresolphthalein Complexone has been used in the estimation of calcium in serum samples based on the reaction of Ca2+ with o-cresolphthalein complexone in an alkaline solution.

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
We adapted a method for dialyzable calcium from fluorometric detection by use of calcein to a more specific spectrophotometric determination with cresolphthalein complexone. The reagents are available commercially and perform satisfactorily with respect to noise level, drift, stability, and sensitivity.
Improved linearity of the calcium-cresolphthalein complexone reaction with sodium acetate.

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
