PMCID: PMC472977  PMID: 14318698

Abstract

A colorimetric and an isotopic method for determining the iron-binding capacity are described, using only 1 ml. samples of plasma or serum. Both methods are simple, rapid and sensitive. Satisfactory results are obtained from frozen as well as from fresh samples.
