Introduction | Calcium indicator is also called "calcium-carboxylic acid", scientific name "2-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxy-4-sulfonic acid-1-naphthalene azo)-3-naphthoic acid", a double o-hydroxy azo color developer, purple red or brown crystalline powder. Easily soluble in sodium hydroxide and ammonia, slightly soluble in water and alcohol, its water and alcohol solution is unstable. The pH value in aqueous solution is blue in the range of 7.3~13.7, and can be used as an indicator for plasma complexation titration of calcium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium and manganese. The complex formed with calcium ions is red, the color change is sharp, and it is very obvious, so it is often used to determine calcium in the mixed system of calcium and magnesium. If there is iron and aluminum plasma in the solution, the indicator will be blocked and can be masked by the combination of potassium cyanide (KCN) and triethanolamine. |
