Automated, Simultaneous Microdetermination of Calcium and Magnesium by Atomic Absorption

Abstract
A procedure is described for the simultaneous, automatic determination of serum calcium and magnesium with the AutoAnalyzer, and a dual-channel, double-beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer, the IL Model 153. Advantages over existing procedures include a high rate of analysis (90 samples or 180 tests per hour) and low sample consumption (a total of 30 µl for both determinations). We have compared the new procedure with a manual one in which the Perkin-Elmer Model 303 atomic absorption spectrophotometer is used.
