Abstract
We describe a method for simultaneously determining albumin, by using bromcresol purple, and calcium, by using Arsenazo III, in the same analytical cuvette on the Hitachi 704. Both assays agree well with accepted procedures. The standard curves for the albumin and calcium assays are linear from 0 to 60 g/L and 0 to 5.0 mmol/L, respectively. Calibration is stable for 7 days with use of open reagent in the instrument. Both assays are unaffected by hemoglobin ≤5 g/L and Intralipid ≤4 g/L; calcium is unaffected by bilirubin ≤600 μmol/L.
