Roche recently sent us a warning letter about "Omniscan" interference with their
Ca O-cresolphtalein assay. I don't know if other manufacturers' Ca assays are
equally affected.

Subject: 'Omniscan' Interference?
Hi
we've recently had a notice about Omniscan (gadodiamide), a contrast
medium used during MRI scanning, which warns that it may interfere with
some colorimetric tests.
Can anyone on the list provide more information please? Is this a
significant problem?
