Table 1.

Total iron contents in cell culture medium samples

Samples Single exposure spent medium Co-exposure spent medium Medium spiked with Fe2O3 Pristine medium
Total iron content in medium (μg) * 0.84 ± 0.07 0.70 ± 0.07 3.36 ± 0.07 1.26 ± 0.07
Inferred cellular iron uptake (μg) ** 2.52 ± 0.14 2.66 ± 0.14 NA NA

* The uncertainty value only reflects the instrument uncertainty.

** Obtained by subtracting the iron in the spent medium from that in the medium spiked with Fe2O3.
