A comparative study of the estimation of calcium in serum.
Five generally applied methods for the estimation of calcium in serum were compared as to their precision, accuracy, speed and productivity. The influence of storage at 4 degrees C and 20 degrees C and of a number of possible interfering factors were also investigated. As a result the continuous flow method with acid dialysis according to H.J. Gitelman (Anal. Biochem., 18 (1967) 521) in the modification of Technicon appeared to meet these conditions the most.
