Ferene disodium salt

Ferene disodium salt is a ferroin-type reagent with enhanced characteristics for iron detection where it forms a tris complex with ferrous iron and is characterized by improved water solubility and stability over a pH range of 4 to 9. This compound is also effective for use in the detection of trace metals, including Cyanide, at 382 nm, Palladium at 432 nm, Ruthenium at 520 nm, and for indirect detection of Chromium at 593 nm.

Ferene disodium salt is Yellow solid

Ferene disodium salt is a chromogenic agent used in the colorimetric determination of iron. It was used in chromogen screening while studying non-transferrin-bound iron quantification. It was used in measuring the chelating activity on ferrous ions.

Ferene disodium salt can be used for the determination of serum iron by atomic absorption, electrochemical and colorimetric methods. The atomic absorption method and electrochemical method have limited application because they require special testing instruments and are expensive, although the sample dosage is small and the analysis time is short. at present, the colorimetric method is widely used in clinical laboratories.

3-(2-Pyridyl)-5,6-di(2-furyl)-1,2,4-triazine-5′,5′′-disulfonic acid disodium salt also known as Ferene is a chelating agent which usually binds with Fe²⁺ ion to form coloured complex.
