title: The ICSH reference method for serum iron assay: recommendation for a viable automated alternative.
abstract: A viable alternative to the ICSH reference method for serum iron assay is proposed where automated batch analysis is required. The introduction of Ferrozene into contemporary automated methodology makes this possible. The Donnan effect on membrane dialysis has been resolved by observing the fate of aqueous and protein matrices inoculated with 59FeCl3 as they leave the system.
