Description

Hemosiderin CAS NO 9011-92-1 is an iron-storage complex, a critical biochemical marker for iron metabolism and storage within biological systems. Its primary value lies in its role as an indicator of iron overload conditions, making it essential for diagnostic and research applications. This product is vital for researchers in biochemistry and pathology, as well as for manufacturers of diagnostic reagents and kits focused on hematological disorders.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies of iron metabolism, hemosiderosis, and hemochromatosis.
• Diagnostic Development: Serves as a key component in the calibration and validation of histological stains (e.g., Perls' Prussian blue stain) for iron detection in tissue samples.
• Clinical Pathology: Employed as a reference material in laboratory settings to aid in the identification and quantification of iron deposits in biopsy specimens.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in the investigation of chelation therapies and other treatments for iron overload diseases.
• Cell Biology Studies: Applied in research concerning macrophage function and the recycling of iron from hemoglobin.
