Iron Assay Kit is an assay kit for the detection and quantification of Iron concentrations in serum and tissue homogenates using a spectrophotometer. Under reducing and acidic conditions, 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.
