A correlation coefficient of r=0.977 was displayed when the Randox methodology was compared against other commercially available methods.
Latex Enhanced Immunoturbidimetric method
Facilitating testing on biochemistry analysers and eliminating the need for dedicated equipment
Excellent measuring range
The healthy range for sTfR is 0.65 – 1.88mg/L. The Randox sTfR assay can comfortably detect levels outside of the healthy range, measuring between 0.5 – 11.77 mg/L.
Liquid ready-to-use assay
The Randox sTfR assay is available in a liquid ready-to-use format for convenience and ease-of-use.
Applications are available
Applications are available detailing instrument-specific settings for the convenient use of the Randox soluble transferrin receptor assay on a wide range of clinical chemistry analysers.
The most common nutritional deficiency globally is iron deficiency (ID) with 15% to 20% of the global population affected by IDA 1. IDA has also been recognised as the most common form of anaemia in infants aged between 4 and 24 months of age, school-age children, female adolescents, pregnant women, and nurturing mothers. It has been recognised that young children including infants require high levels of iron during growth periods making them more susceptible to ID .
Soluble transferrin receptor levels have also been found to be a strong biomarker of erythropoietic and haemolysis drive compared to iron-restricted erythropoiesis in paediatric sickle cell disease.
