Total Iron Chromazurol B – Single Reagent

Diagnostic reagent for the in-vitro quantitative determination of total iron in human serum and plasma on manual systems.

Range	Clinical Chemistry Reagents — Electrolytes
Method	End-point
Type of specimen	The recommended specimen is serum or heparinized plasma. Plasma specimens collected with EDTA, oxalate or citrate as anticoagulants are unsatisfactory since they bind iron, preventing its reaction with the chromogen. A morning specimen is preferable to avoid a low result due to diurnal variation. Lipemic specimens are not recommended since they may cause negative bias; they can be diluted before the assay and the dilution factor should be considered during calculation. Stability: 7 days at 15–25 °C; 3 weeks at 2–8 °C; 1 year at –20 °C.
Storage	Ready to use. Stable until the expiry date on the label at 2–8 °C. Do not use if turbid.
