Serum iron determination using ferene triazine.

F E Smith, J Herbert, J Gaudin

    Clinical Biochemistry
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new colorimetric reagent, 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(2-furyl)-1,2,4-triazine, was synthesized for accurate iron determination. This reagent effectively measures serum iron, with thiourea preventing copper interference and hemolysis not affecting results.

    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Inorganic Chemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate determination of iron levels is crucial in clinical diagnostics.
    • Existing colorimetric methods for iron may suffer from interferences or require complex sample preparation.
    • Development of novel reagents can improve the sensitivity and specificity of iron assays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize and characterize a new colorimetric reagent for the determination of iron.
    • To evaluate the performance of the new reagent in direct serum iron determinations.
    • To assess the impact of potential interfering substances and sample conditions on the assay.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(2-furyl)-1,2,4-triazine.
    • Characterization using high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy.

  • Evaluation of precision, linearity, and recovery in serum iron determination.
  • Investigation of interference suppression by thiourea and the effect of hemolysed cells.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful synthesis and characterization of the novel triazine-based colorimetric reagent.
    • The reagent forms a stable tris iron(II) complex with a high molar absorptivity.
    • The method demonstrated good precision, linearity, and recovery for serum iron.
    • Thiourea effectively eliminated copper interference.
    • Hemolysis did not significantly impact the measured serum iron levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The new colorimetric reagent is suitable for precise and accurate direct serum iron determinations.
    • The assay is robust, with minimal interference from copper and unaffected by hemolysis.
    • This reagent offers a promising alternative for routine clinical analysis of serum iron.
