| Method | End-point |
| Type of specimen | Serum, plasma and urine. Use non-haemolysed serum; fresh serum collected in the fasting state is the preferred specimen. Heparin is the only acceptable anticoagulant; no other anticoagulant can be used, and complexing anticoagulants such as citrate, oxalate and EDTA must be avoided. Serum or plasma should be separated from the cells as soon as possible, because prolonged contact with the clot may cause lower calcium values. Sera from patients receiving EDTA (treatment of hypercalcemia) are unsuitable for analysis. Serum stable 7 days at 15–25 °C, 3 weeks at 4–8 °C, 8 months at –20 °C. Stored serum or urine specimens must be mixed well prior to analysis. |
| Urine specimen | Specimens should be collected in acid-washed bottles; 24-hour specimens should be collected in containers containing 5 ml of 6 mol/L HCl; if the specimen is collected without acid, the pH should be adjusted to below 3 with 6 mol/L HCl. Dilute the urine specimen with distilled water (1 volume urine + 1 volume distilled water) before the assay. Stable 2 days at 15–25 °C, 4 days at 4–8 °C, 3 weeks at –20 °C. |
| Storage | Ready to use. Stable until the expiry date on the label at 2–8 °C. Do not use if turbid. |
