Intended Use
For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
Clinical Significance
Iron binding protein, binds ferric ions preventing iron intoxication and loss via kidneys. Increased levels are found in iron deficiency, pregnancy, oestrogen administration and lipoidal nephrosis. Decreased levels may be encountered in hereditary deficiencies, testosterone administration, infection, acute inflammation, some forms of nephrosis, tumours, haemochromatosis, acute malaria and malnutrition.
Test Principle
Measurement of antigen-antibody reaction by the end-point method.
Stability & Storage
The reagents are stable until expiry date when kept at 2-8°C. Stability in the instrument is at least 4 weeks if contamination is avoided. Do not freeze.
