Description
For the qualitative determination of magnesium in serum. Magnesium is one of the most abundant cations in the body and is essential to many physiochemical processes. Approximately one-half of the body magnesium is present in the bone. The remainder is found in soft tissues and blood cells with a small amount present in blood. Magnesium is an activator of various enzymes and is also essential for the preservation of the macromolecular structure of DNA, RNA, and ribosomes. Magnesium forms a colored complex with calmagite in alkaline medium to produce a red complex that is measured spectrophotometrically at 530 nm. EGTA serves to complex and prevent calcium interference, and a surfactant eliminates the effect of protein. The color produced is proportional to the magnesium concentration.
