Applications:
Direct Assays: iron in biological samples (e.g. serum).
Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on iron metabolism.
Environmental Monitoring: iron in soil extracts, mineralized samples.
Key Features:
Sensitive and accurate: Linear detection range 27 _g/dL (4.8 _M) to 1,000 _g/dL (179 _M) iron in 96-well plate assay.
Simple and high-throughput: The procedure involves addition of a single working reagent and incubation for 40 min. Can be readily automated as a high-throughput assay for thousands of samples per day.
Improved reagent stability and versatility: The optimized formulation has greatly enhanced reagent and signal stability. Cuvet or 96-well plate assay.
Low interference in biological samples. No pretreatments are needed. Assays can be directly performed on serum samples.
