Abstract
A Res-O-Mat Fe kit is used for an in vitro measurement of the unsaturated iron binding capacity in serum. A resin strip is utilized as adsorbent of residual radioiron after the serum was saturated with radioiron.
The unsaturated iron-binding capacity were measured in 53 sera using this kit and Irosorb-test kit, in which a resin sponge is used for adsorbent of radioiron. Results of these tests show a nearly linear correlation.
This test is easy to manipulate and the reproducibility test with same sera also was satisfactory.
The normal range of unsaturated iron-binding capacity determined using this test kit was as follows.
