| Validity | 6 |
| Assay Type | Quantitative |
| Sample Type | Serum,tissue |
| Synonyms | Fe |
| Detection Principal | Under the action of acidic solution and reductant, ferric ions can be separated from transferrin in serum, and reduced into ferrous ions (Fe2+). The latter then bind to bipyridine and form pink complexes. The concentration of iron can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 520 nm indirectly. |
