General Description

Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 3 - 10 - 25 - 50 - 100 - 250 - 500 mg/L (Fe²⁺), MQuant^®

The MQuant^®test strips offer a very simple means of determining iron(II) in all aqueous media and on metal surfaces. They can thus be used to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Iron(II) ions react with 2,2′-bipyridine to form a red complex. The iron(II) concentration is measured semi-quantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. For a determination of Fe(III) it is necessary to treat the sample with Ascorbic acid first, to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II). The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the iron concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant^®or Spectroquant^®test.

Application

• Detection and evaluation of susceptibility to antibiotics in non-hydrogen sulfide-producing antibiotic-resistant soil microbe: Pseudomonas guariconensis.: This study focuses on detecting and evaluating the antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas guariconensis, a soil microbe, using various susceptibility tests, including iron assays to understand its resistance mechanisms (Selvakumar et al., 2024).


• Genetic diversity and iron metabolism of Staphylococcus hominis isolates originating from bovine quarter milk, rectal feces, and teat apices.: The research explores the genetic diversity and iron metabolism pathways of Staphylococcus hominis isolates from different bovine sources, highlighting the role of iron assays in understanding bacterial physiology and resistance (Reydams et al., 2022).


• Anemia Prevalence, Type, and Associated Risks in a Cohort of 5.0 Million Insured Patients in the United States by Level of Kidney Function.: This large-scale study investigates anemia prevalence and types across varying levels of kidney function, utilizing iron tests to evaluate iron deficiency and its impact on health outcomes (Farrington et al., 2023).


• Influence of serum iron test results on the diagnosis of iron deficiency in children: a retrospective observational study.: This study examines how serum iron test results influence the diagnosis of iron deficiency in pediatric populations, emphasizing the importance of accurate iron testing in clinical diagnostics (Sezgin et al., 2021).


• Validation of magnetic resonance relaxometry R2 value and cyst fluid iron level for diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma.: The study validates the use of magnetic resonance relaxometry and iron level measurements in cyst fluid for diagnosing ovarian endometrioma, demonstrating the application of iron tests in medical imaging and diagnostics (Imanaka et al., 2021).
