J W Liu et al investigate Nrf2 and its dependent autophagy activation cooperatively counteract ferroptosis to alleviate acute liver injury. Ferrous ion level in rat serum were determined using ferrous ion colorimetric assay kit (E-BC-K773-M).

Ferrous ion level in serum was significantly induced by CCl4 and conversed by SFN. (**P<0.01, ***P<0.001).

 

Dilution of Sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.4-50 μmol/L).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type Dilution factor
Human serum 1
Mouse serum 1-2
Rat serum 1
10% Mouse liver tissue homogenate 1-3
10% Rat lung tissue homogenate 1
10% Mouse heart tissue homogenate 1
10% Rat spleen tissue homogenate 1-3
10% Epipremnum aureum leaf tissue homogenate 1

 

Note: The diluent is reagent 1.

 

Detection Principle

Ferrous ions (Fe2+) in samples can bind with probe to form complexes, which has a maximum absorption peak at 593 nm. The concentration of iron can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 593 nm indirectly.

Technical Data:

Parameter:

Intra-assay Precision

Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).

Parameters Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3
Mean (μmol/L) 8.40 22.60 43.50
%CV 1.6 1.2 1.1


Inter-assay Precision

Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.

Parameters Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3
Mean (μmol/L) 8.40 22.60 43.50
%CV 1.3 1.7 1.5


Recovery

Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 99%.


Standard 1 Standard 2 Standard 3
Expected Conc. (μmol/L) 9 16.5 33
Observed Conc. (μmol/L) 9.1 16.3 32.0
Recovery rate(%) 101 99 97

 

Sensitivity

The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.4 μmol/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.

 

Standard Curve

As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:

Concentration (μmol/L) 0 5 10 15 20 30 40 50
Average OD 0.048 0.136 0.232 0.326 0.417 0.611 0.795 0.978
Absoluted OD 0.000 0.088 0.184 0.278 0.369 0.563 0.747 0.930
