Teco Diagnostics Iron/TIBC Reagent Set is used for the quantitative determination of iron, total iron-binding capacity in human serum.

For use in the determination of total iron-binding capacity in serum on automated chemistry analyzers. For in vitro diagnostic use only. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is the measure of the ability of serum proteins, principally transferrin, to bind iron. It is the maximum concentration of iron that the serum proteins can bind.Together with the total serum iron concentration, the TIBC is used in the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, other disorders of iron metabolism, and chronic inflammatory disorders. As an index of nutritional status, Serum TIBC is increased in iron deficiency, and decreased in anemia that is due to chronic disease.
