- Principle of the Assay
- Serum iron refers to the iron bound by blood transferrin, which is often used to distinguish iron deficiency from non-iron deficiency anemia. Serum Fe3+  is reduced by sodium sulfite to form Fe2+, and Fe2+ is further colored with 2, 2 '-bipyridine. There is an absorption peak at 520nm, and the serum iron content could be calculated by measuring the light absorption value at this wavelength. 
- Detection method
- Micromethod 
- Materials Not Supplied
- Centrifuge, Adjustable pipette, Visible spectrophotometer/Microplate reader, Microglass cuvettes/96-well plate, Glacial acetic acid, Chloroform, Distilled water. 
- Assay Procedure (For reference)
- 1.Sample preparation - Serum (plasma): Directly detect. - 2.Add each reagent in turn according to the operation table - Before the formal test, 2-3 samples with significant differences should be selected for pre-test. - (1)Preheat visible spectrophotometer or microplate reader for more than 30 min, adjust the wavelength to 520 nm and the distilled water to zero. - (2)Add each reagent in turn according to the operation table -

| Mix well, cover tightly, place in boiling water bath for 5min, cool with tap water. Add 62 μL chloroform(self-prepared)and mix thoroughly. At room temperature 10000rpm, centrifuge for 10min, carefully absorb 210 μL of the upper liquid, add it into the microglass cuvettes/96-well plate, and immediately measure the absorbance at 520 nm, recorded as A blank, A sample, and A standard.  |  
 - 3.Calculation - The content of serum iron(μmol /L)=[C standard×(A sample- A blank) ÷ (A standard- A blank)]  -                             =125×(A sample- A blank) ÷(A standard- A blank)  -   C standard: 125 μmol/L Fe3+ standard 
- Notes
- 1.The content of serum iron is low, and the vessels used (EP tubes) need to be paid attention to avoid being contaminated by iron. - 2.If the absorbance value of the sample is greater than 0.5, it is recommended to dilute the sample with distilled water before measurement. - 3.Sensitivity: 0.99 μmol/L - 4.Range: 3.9-250 μmol/L
