Serum Total Iron Binding Capacity(TIBC) Assay Kit

Determination of Significance: Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) refers to the ability of serum transferrin to bind iron, and its content is closely related to the diseases such as iron deficiency anemia and acute hepatitis. Measurement Principle: Fe 2+ reacts with ferrozine to form a fuchsia compound which has an absorption peak at 562nm. In alkaline condition, serum transferrin can bind with Fe 3+ , and the remaining unbound Fe 3+ can be reduced to Fe 2+ . So the absorbance A1 is positively correlated with Fe 3+ . After acidification, the transferrin-bound Fe 3+ is released and further reduced to Fe 2+ . The absorbance A2 has a positive correlation with Fe 3+ , A2 minus A1 was proportional to TIBC.
