Calcitonin is a test that measures the amount of the hormone calcitonin in the blood. The health care provider may suggest a calcitonin test when he/she suspects medullary thyroid cancer. Calcitonin may also be elevated in other tumors such as insulinomas, VIPomas, and lung cancer.

Calcitonin ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of calcitonin in human serum. The assay is designed for in vitro diagnostic use. It is also used to diagnose cancer of the thyroid and as an adjunct for the monitoring of osteoporosis (bone loss) of a patient.

Calcitonin Nasal Spray is used to treat osteoporosis. Calcitonin nasal spray is only uses in nose conditions. This reduces the incidence of vertebral fractures by 25-35% at a daily dose of 200 IU.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure. The remaining 1% is found throughout the body in blood, muscle, and the fluid between cells. It is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.

Calcium Liquid Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of calcium in serum.

Calcium phosphate bone cement provides immediate mechanical integrity to cancellous bone defects. It forms a solid monolithic construct within 10 minutes after it is injected into a cancellous bone defect. It then continues to crystallize and harden in vivo and reaches 50% of its final compressive strength in one hour and 80% of its final compressive strength in four hours. Calcium phosphate bone cement's compressive strength is greater than the strength of cancellous bone and is one half the strength of cortical bone.
