The Good
The kit can be useful for assessing calcium concentration in biological samples including plasma, as well as tissue homogenates and cell lysates. It detects total calcium in biological samples as low as 0.25 mg/dl. The kit is useful for the sufficient sample size (i.e. 192 wells)
The Bad
The procedure requires bit more time due to incubation and sample preparation but depends on the sample types used in the experiments.
The Bottom Line
Calcium Assay Kit (Cayman, MI) is very apt to assess calcium in biological samples as well as cytoplasmic extracts. Moreover, the protocol is user-friendly but optimization is needed due to different cell types of the experiments.
