Serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC) test kit

• Cat.No.: KITZ-080
• Product Overview: Excess iron is added to the serum to ensure that all the transferrin in the serum is bound to iron. An iron adsorbent is then added to adsorb the excess iron. The iron content is subsequently measured using a serum iron assay, and this value is referred to as the total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). By subtracting the serum iron value from the TIBC, the unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) is obtained.

Specification
