The purpose of this application note is to demonstrate the utility of the FLx800 fluorescence microplate reader to detect rapid changes in calcium ion concentration. Introduction Cell Biologists often need to detect and quantitate intracellular spectroscopically silent ions such as Cl-, Na+, K+, or Ca2+.
The parathyroid glands monitor the calcium in the blood 24 hours per day. The four parathyroid glands make more or less parathyroid hormone (PTH) in response to the level of calcium in the blood. When the calcium in our blood goes too low, the parathyroid glands make more PTH. Increased PTH causes the body to put more calcium into the blood.
