Calcium Reagents

Original price was: KSh5,000.00.Current price is: KSh3,300.00.

Principle of Measurement

1. Arsenazo III Method (Most widely used in modern analyzers)

How it works:

  • Calcium ions react with Arsenazo III dye to form a blue-purple complex.

  • The intensity of the color is measured photometrically at 650–660 nm.

  • Highly specific for calcium with minimal interference from magnesium.

Advantages:

  • Excellent stability

  • Strong absorbance

  • High specificity and precision


2. o-Cresolphthalein Complexone (OCPC) Method

How it works:

  • Calcium forms a purple-red complex with o-cresolphthalein complexone in alkaline conditions.

  • Read photometrically at 570–580 nm.

  • Common in semi-auto chemistry analyzers.

Advantages:

  • Reliable and widely established

  • Suitable for manual and automated systems
