Iron Ferrozine LS 2ndGEN (3x40ml+1x30ml) 150T

In an acidic environment, iron is released from Transferrin, its carrier protein, in the form of a trivalent Iron ion (Fe3+) and is reduced to a bi- valent Iron ion (Fe2+) by ascorbate. The bi-valent ion reacts with Ferrozine® to form a colored complex. The intensity of color that develops, measured photometric at the wavelength of 578 nm, is directly proportional to the total amount of Iron present in the sample.

Transferrin-Fe-complex        (pH < 2,0)    →   Apotransferrin + Fe3+

Fe3+     (Ascorbate)  →Fe2+

FerroZine® + Fe2+     → Colored complex
