Obviating the Effects of Heat Treatment of Serum to Inactivate Aids Virus on Measured Calcium and Phosphate Concentrations

It has been reported that heat treatment to inactivate human T cell lymphocyte virus type III (HTLV-III) does not affect assays of serum calcium and phosphate. However, the authors have found that in hypercalcaemic and/or hyperphosphataemic serum, heat causes large changes in these measurements and...

Zusammenfassung:	It has been reported that heat treatment to inactivate human T cell lymphocyte virus type III (HTLV-III) does not affect assays of serum calcium and phosphate. However, the authors have found that in hypercalcaemic and/or hyperphosphataemic serum, heat causes large changes in these measurements and describe means to avoid such artefacts.
