Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores and releases iron in a controlled manner. Found in most living organisms, including humans, it helps regulate iron balance and prevents iron deficiency or overload. In the body, ferritin is mainly present in cells but also appears in small amounts in the blood, where it acts as an iron carrier. Serum ferritin levels serve as an indirect measure of total body iron and are used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia. Structurally, ferritin is a 24-subunit globular protein complex that keeps iron in a soluble, non-toxic form. The iron-free form is called apoferritin. The Human Ferritin Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold) qualitatively detects ferritin in whole blood, serum, or plasma using a double antibody sandwich assay, with a detection limit as low as 20 ng/mL.

Importance to know
-
Warnings and Precautions
- Use the test kit only if the pouch is intact and not expired; open it only when ready to test.
- Do not spill solution into the reaction zone or touch it to avoid contamination.
- Do not mix components (e.g., diluent or tubes) from different lots.
- Handle all specimens as potentially infectious and follow proper disposal procedures.
- Wear protective gear and bring all reagents to room temperature before testing.
- Read results between 20 and 30 minutes; store the kit at 2–30°C.
-
Limitation
- The Human Ferritin Rapid Test Kit is for in vitro diagnostic use only and provides qualitative detection of ferritin in whole blood, serum, or plasma.
- It cannot measure the exact ferritin level or its rate of increase.
- The test cannot detect ferritin levels below 20 ng/mL; a negative result does not rule out anemia of chronic disease.
- Results should always be interpreted alongside other clinical data.
- High levels of heterophile antibodies or rheumatoid factor may affect test accuracy; positive results may still require further evaluation.
