A Simple Serum Iron Method Using the New Sensitive Chromogen Tripyridyl-s-triazine

Abstract

Abstract A simple, specific and reproducible serum iron method is described using the recently synthesized and highly sensitive chromogen, tripyridyl-S-triazine. The absorbance of this chromogen is compared to other iron reagents. Procedural modifications are given for using the Ramsay iron-binding capacity method with this serum iron procedure. The normal values found agree with most of those in the literature which has been reviewed.
