ferrozine sodium salt
Ferrozine sodium salt (CAS: 69898-45-9) is a highly sensitive colorimetric reagent for iron detection, forming a stable magenta tris-complex with ferrous ions that exhibits strong absorbance at 562 nanometers. This water-soluble sulfonated triazine derivative enables precise quantification of iron in biological samples, environmental waters, food products, and industrial process streams with detection limits reaching sub-micromolar concentrations. Its selectivity for Fe(II) can be extended to total iron determination through prior reduction of ferric ions. The reagent’s high molar absorptivity, water solubility, and stable complex formation make it ideal for automated analyzers and microplate-based assays. Laboratory applications include iron transport studies, hemoglobin analysis, and nutritional iron content determination. With its proven analytical performance and ease of use, ferrozine remains the reagent of choice for iron quantification across clinical, environmental, and industrial laboratories.
– Iron Quantification: Used in colorimetric assays measuring ferrous and total iron in serum, plasma, tissue samples, and food products with high sensitivity.
– Environmental Monitoring: Applied in water quality analysis detecting trace iron contamination in drinking water, wastewater, and natural waters.
– Clinical Diagnostics: Serves in automated analyzers for iron status assessment and anemia-related testing in clinical laboratories.
– Biochemical Research: Employed in studying iron metabolism, transport proteins, and cellular iron homeostasis mechanisms.
