Iron is a mineral which binds many proteins and enzymes, and plays important roles in living bodies. MC-Reagent Fe Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient tool for the determination of Ferrous and/or Ferric ion in a variety of biological samples such as cell lysates, tissue homogenates, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, tissue extract, plant extract, hair and food extract.
[ Performance ]
1. Sensitivity: O.D. at 200 µg/dL standard will be 0.08 - 0.25
2. Accuracy: ±10% of known concentration
3. Intra assay variation: C.V. is less than 5%
4. Assay range: 5 - 1,000 µg/dL
 
Not be affected by following substances.
1. Hemoglobin: up to 70 mg/dL
2. Bilirubin: up to 90 mg/dL
This assay will be interfered by EDTA.


Good liearity for full assay range

Good correlation with ICP

Easy to apply to tissue samples
