Product Information

• Name: Ammonium ferric citrate
• Synonyms: Ferric ammonium citrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ammonium ferric citrate is a solution of ammonium ferric citrate, which is a mixture of ammonium and ferric ions. It is used in biological research as a reaction solution for the determination of mitochondrial membrane potential. The chemical composition of the solution is such that it can be used to determine the iron homeostasis in human serum samples and other biological samples. Ammonium ferric citrate reacts with sodium citrate to form a polymerase chain reaction product that generates light signals proportional to the concentration of electron transfer agents in the system. This process can be monitored using an optical sensor or by measuring electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data on the solution.
