429 Reagent and methods for calcium determination US597181 1990-10-12 US5057435A 1991-10-15 Jerry W. Denney
A single, stable reagent and automatable methods utilizing the reagent for the assay of calcium in serum and aqueous samples, such as urine. (Aqueous samples contain little or no protein.) The reagent includes arsenazo III, 8-hydroxyquinoline, a buffer that does not bind calcium competitively with arsenazo III and that provides a reagent pH from about 8.5 to about 10, the buffer being in sufficient amount to maintain pH within +/- 0.1 pH units of the reagent pH when the reagent is added to a sample of unknown calcium content, dimethylsulfoxide and water. Importantly, dimethylsulfoxide permits the incorporation of 8-hydroxyquinoline into a single, stable reagent, which is at an alkaline pH that is optimal for calcium measurement by the calcium-arsenazo III complex. 8-Hydroxyquinoline eliminates assay interference due to magnesium ion. Also, at least one non-ionic surfactant in sufficient amount to minimize lipid turbidity may be added to the reagent. Spectral measurements of calcium-arsenazo III are made at wavelengths that minimize interference from lipemia, hemolysis, and bilirubinemia. Spectral interference from lipemia and hemolysis is further reduced by employing bichromatic measurements of the calcium-arsenazo III complex and by employing serum blank measurements.
430 Fluorescent indicator dyes for calcium working at long wavelengths US115921 1987-10-30 US5049673A 1991-09-17 Roger Y. Tsien; Akwasi Minta
The present invention discloses a new class of calcium specific fluorescent indicator dyes having visible excitation and emission wavelengths. The new fluorescent indicator dyes combine at least one tricyclic chromophore with a tetracarboxylate parent CA.sup.2+ chelating compound having the octacoordinate pattern of liganding groups characteristic of BAPTA to give a rhodamine-like or fluorescein-like fluorophore. Binding of calcium.sup.2+ increases the fluorescence of the new compounds by up to 40-fold. The calcium.sup.2+ dissociation constants are in the range 0.37-2.3 microM, so that the new indicators give better resolution of high [CA.sup.2+ ] levels than were previously obtainable with predecessor compounds such as quin-2 or fluo-2. The visible excitation wavelengths of the new compounds are more convenient for fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry than the UV required by previous indicators.

432 Configuration fiber-optic blood gas sensor bundle and method of making US526185 1990-05-18 US5047627A 1991-09-10 Jeffrey B. Yim; Todd W. Hubbard; Lori D. Melkerson; Michael A. Sexton; Bruce M. Fieggen
A bundle of fiber-optic sensors that resist breakage, for use in measuring pH, CO.sub.2, and O.sub.2 concentration, and a method of making the same. Three otpical fibers are enclosed in a common polyimide sheath and extend parallel to one another toward a distal end of the sensor, where they are bonded together in a mutually supportive array. At the distal end of one of these optical fibers is disposed a pellet comprising a CO.sub.2 analyte indicator molecule codissolved within a polymer matrix. A thin reflective surface of gold foil is provided on the pellet such that incident light transmitted through the optical fiber and polymer matrix is reflected back into the optical fiber. The CO.sub.2 polymer matrix absorbs light of a given wavelength to an extent dependent upon the level of CO.sub.2 present. Similarly, on the distal end of a second optical fiber is disposed a pH pellet comprising a pH analyte indicator matrix with a thin reflective gold foil attached for reflecting light that has passed through the pH analyte indicator matrix back into the optical fiber. The pH analyte indicator matrix absorbs light of a given wavelenth to an extent dependent upon the hydrogen ion concentration (pH level) of a surrounding fluid. The third optical fiber is used for measuring oxygen concentration. An O.sub.2 indicator matrix covers the distal ends of at least two of the three optical fibers; however, at least a portion of the pH optical fiber and the pH pellet are free of the O.sub.2 indicator matrix, which is hydrophobic. The oxygen indicator matrix phosphoresces for an interval of time that decreases in proportion to the surrounding oxygen gas concentration. The phosphorescent and reflected light signals are transmitted to light detectors through the optical fibers for comparison to reference signals, so that the analyte concentrations can be determined.
433 Test swab cartridge type device and method for detecting lead and cadmium US449488 1990-05-07 US5039618A 1991-08-13 Marcia J. Stone
A swab is impregnated with a test reagent such that a test for a specific substance can be effected by rubbing the impregnated swab over the surface to be tested and then viewing the swab for a reagent reaction. A method for testing for a metal includes impregnating a swab with a reagent, such as, for example, a rhodizonate dye reagent when testing for lead, and rubbing the swab over a surface suspected of containing the metal. If a metal is present in the surface, a reaction with the metal produces an easily detectable color on the swab tip.
