Abstract
An improved multilayer analytical element for the determination of calcium comprising a liquid impermeable, optically transparent support; at least one reagent layer positioned with a first side on said support and containing at least one reagent capable of reacting with a calcium component in a fluid sample; and at least one porous developing layer on the second side of said reagent layer, said porous developing layer being permeable to calcium from said fluid sample thereby transporting said calcium to said reagent layer. The improvement comprises at least one of said reagent layer and developing layer containing a basic substance of the formula M.sub.v H.sub.w PO.sub.4 .multidot.ZH.sub.2 O wherein M is lithium, sodium or potassium; v is an integer of 2 or 3 and w is an integer of 0 or 1 provided that v plus w equals 3; and Z is 1/2 when M is lithium, 0, 2 or 12 when M is sodium and 0 or 8 when M is potassium; and said reagent layer contains (i) 3,3'-bis[N,N-di(carboxymethyl)aminomethyl]-o-cresolphthalein and (ii) 8-hydroxyquinoline or a derivative thereof.
