CheKine™ Micro Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Assay Kit

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) refers to the ability of serum transferrin to combine iron, and its content is closely related to the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia, acute hepatitis and other diseases.

CheKine™ Micro Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive, rapid TIBC detection method, suitable for detecting serum samples. The principle is that under alkaline conditions, serum transferrin can be bonded to Fe3+, and the remaining unbound Fe3+ can be reduced to Fe2+, the bonded Fe3+ could be released after acidification , and then be reduced into Fe2+ . A purple compound could be produced by the reaction between Fe2+ and philo oxazine , and this purple compound has a special wave at 562 nm. Respectively reading the OD562nm values A1 and A2 , and A1 is based on the unbound Fe3+ , A2 is based on the bounded Fe3+ . And the concentration of TIBC is proportionate to the difference between A2 and A1.

• Do not mix the components between different batch numbers and manufacturers; otherwise, the results may be abnormal. • Avoid bubbles while mixing or redissolving components. • Change pipette tips frequently to avoid cross contamination between components. • Ensure that all components and equipment are at the proper temperature before starting the experiment. • If the absorbance values is too high (> 1.5) . Pay attention to multiply by the dilution factor when calculating the result. • Please mix the standard well before use, it is normal while there is fewer precipitates in the standard solution. • Please take protective measures when operating, because ReagentII has certain toxicity.
