Description:
Ferrozine is a chelating agent for ferrous iron commonly used as a colorimetric reagent in the detection of iron. Ferrozine forms a complex with ferrous iron that can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 562nm as a measure of iron concentration. Ferrozine is used for the accurate determination of submicrogram levels of serum iron (pH 3.5-4.5, lambdamax 562nm, A 29′000) and has been used in ferrozine chromogen solutions, bioluminescence assays and in the measurement of Fe2+ concentration in the reaction medium.
