Magnesium is an important biological element, which is mainly found in bone, muscle cells, soft tissues, serum and red blood cells. It is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein, and is a cofactor of various enzymes and transporters. It plays an important role in regulating cardiac excitability, neuromuscular conduction, vasomotor contraction, blood pressure and energy metabolism.
The magnesium in the serum reacts with the complexometric indicator (Calmagite) to form the Calmagite-Mg compound. The absorbance of this compound at 540 nm is proportional to the concentration of magnesium in the sample. The concentration of magnesium can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 540 nm.
