Synthesis and characterization of ion-imprinted polymer for determination of ionized calcium in human blood serum

Calcium (Ca) is a vital element in the human body as it maintains the integrity of the bone system and acts as regulatory ion. Total calcium (tCa) circulates the human body in different forms with only ionized calcium CiCa) is the physiology active fraction. Direct measurement oftCa in human seru...
