Method for the automatic determination of serum iron

D S Young 1, Jocelyn M Hicks 1
PMCID: PMC472839  PMID: 14247712

Abstract

A simple method is described for the automated determination of serum iron and tota iron-binding capacity, which eliminates the need to render apparatus or reagents iron-free. The method is faster than normal procedures and its accuracy is comparable with other accepted methods for the determination of serum iron.
