PRINCIPLE
Iron reacts with Chromazurol B and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTMA) to form a coloured ternary complex with an absorbance maximum at 620 nm. The intensity of the colour produced, is directly proportional to the concentration of iron in the sample.
DIAGNOSTIC USE
Iron is distributed in the body forming part of hemoglobin and myoglobin.
Low iron concentations are found in infectious diseases and anemia. High levels of iron are presented in liver disease, hemochromatosis, and at high levels of Transferrin.
Single test result could not be used to make a clinical diagnosis. It should integrate clinical and laboratory data.
