Abstract

A precise and reproducible method is described for the ultramicro fluorimetric determination of calcium in plasma, based upon the formation of a fluorescent complex between calcium and calcein at a strongly alkaline pH. In a group of normal subjects, the mean concentration of plasma calcium was 9.66 mg/100 ml with a normal range of 8.9 to 10.4 mg/100 ml.
