Iron Assay Kits

Iron assay kits are available from several suppliers to measure iron levels in various biological samples. Iron is a trace element that serves as an important indicator in physiological processes and disease states. Blood iron concentrations can reflect on conditions such as blood loss, red blood cell turnover, and inflammation. In addition, iron quantification can also be useful in cellular research, drug discovery, and environmental monitoring. Colorimetric iron assays generally use a chromogen that reacts with reduced ferrous ions to produce a measurable color change. The intensity of the color is proportional to the amount of total iron in the sample. Some iron assay kits can also be used to stain ferric deposits within cells.
