Total Iron Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

Description

Iron is an essential element for the human body, playing a vital role in metabolism and overall health. Insufficient iron in the blood can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is present in all cells of the human body, and in all tissues and organs, including endocrine glands. Iron is particularly abundant in the liver, spleen, and lungs. An adult’s body contains 3 to 5 grams of iron, most of which exists as a protein complex, with a very small amount in ionic form. Ferrous ions are a key element in heme and hemoglobin, and also play a vital role in many biochemical reactions.
