The purpose of this application note is to demonstrate the utility of the FLx800 fluorescence microplate reader to detect rapid changes in calcium ion concentration. Introduction Cell Biologists often need to detect and quantitate intracellular spectroscopically silent ions such as Cl-, Na+, K+, or Ca2+.
The measurement of total iron binding in the same specimen may facilitate the clinician's ability to distinguish between low serum iron levels caused by iron deficiency from those related to inflammatory neoplastic disorders. The assay for iron measures the amount of iron which is bound to transferrin. The total iron binding capacity (TIBC) measures the amount of iron that would appear in blood if all the transferrin were saturated with iron. It is an indirect measurement of transferrin concentrations but expressed as an iron measurement. To obtain the percent saturation, the serum iron is divided by the TIBC which gives the actual amount of saturated transferrin. The percent saturation is low in iron deficiency and high in iron storage diseases.
