General description

Method: reflectometric with test strips 0.5 - 20 mg/l Fe²⁺ Reflectoquant®
The Reflectoquant test strips offer a very simple means of determining iron(II) in surface water, seawater, industrial water, wastewater and mineral water. Furthermore samples of food and preserves can be analysed. They can thus be used to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. On the test strip, in acidic solution iron(II) ions react with a triazine derivative to form a red-violet complex that is determined reflectometrically on the RQflex. For a determination of Fe(III) it is necessary to treat the sample with Ascorbic acid first, to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II). For pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the iron concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using this quantitative method we recommend our semi-quantitative MQuant test strips for iron Further quantitative determination methods can be found with our Spectroquant tests.

Application


  • Capillary electrophoresis method for speciation of iron (II) and iron (III) in pharmaceuticals by dual precapillary complexation.: This research presents a capillary electrophoresis method for distinguishing between iron (II) and iron (III) in pharmaceutical products, using iron tests to ensure accurate speciation and quality control (Gotti et al., 2015).

  • PAH concentration gradients and fluxes through sand cap test cells installed in situ over river sediments containing coal tar.: The study investigates the concentration gradients and fluxes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through sand cap test cells, utilizing iron tests to analyze environmental contamination and remediation effectiveness (Kim et al., 2013).

  • Serum iron parameters in cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis: detailed description.: This research provides a detailed analysis of serum iron parameters in patients with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, emphasizing the diagnostic importance of iron tests in liver diseases (Bkaşik et al., 2011).

  • Hepcidin response to acute iron intake and chronic iron loading in dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome.: The study examines the hepcidin response to iron intake in individuals with dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome, highlighting the role of iron tests in understanding iron metabolism and regulatory mechanisms (Trombini et al., 2011).
