The magnesium in the serum reacts with the complexing indicator Calmagite to form the Calmagite-Mg complex. The absorbance of the complex at 540 nm is proportional to the magnesium concentration in the sample.
Applications
It is suitable for the determination of magnesium content in animal serum and plasma.
Procedure
1. Prepare standard samples and experimental samples. 2. Add reaction reagents in order for reaction. 3. Measure the absorbance of each tube. 4. Make the mark curve and calculate the result.
