Abstract
Background: Measurements of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) can be used to aid the diagnosis of iron deficiency and iron overload states. A variety of different methods for these measurements are commercially available. Methods: Linearity, imprecision and hemoglobin interference of homogeneous iron and TIBC methods on a Dimension® RxL analyzer were assessed. Method comparison studies were performed with a Vitros® 950 analyzer. Results: The Dimension RxL iron method was linear from 40 to 1000 μg/dl. The coefficient of variation of the iron and TIBC methods were
