Description of Ferrozine

Ferrozine reacts with divalent iron to form a stable magenta complex species and used for the direct determination of iron in water with maximum absorbance at 562 nm [1,2]. The visible absorption spectrum of the ferrous complex of ferrozine exhibits a single sharp peak at 562 nm. At this wavelength, the molar absorptivity is 27,900 and the Beer-ambert law is obeyed to approximately 4 mg/L of Fe [1].

Ferrozine assay of ISE6 cells[3]

The ferrozine assay for measuring non-haem iron was adapted to determine the concentration of iron in ISE6 cells. After knockdown and/or iron exposure, cells were collected, and cell lysates were collected using the method described above. Concentrated HCl (99.5%) was added and then heated to 95 °C. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was centrifuged, and the supernatant was obtained, to which was added 75 mM ascorbate or water. Afterward, 10 mM ferrozine was added. Saturated ammonium acetate was added to facilitate colour development. Absorbance was measured at 550 nm, and the iron concentration was calculated based on a molar extinction coefficient of the iron-ferrozine complex of 27,900 M-1cm-1 and based on the protein concentration. The protein concentration was measured using a Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit. The total iron concentration is computed from samples with ascorbate. The ferrous iron concentration was computed from samples without ascorbate (reducing agent), while the ferric iron concentration is computed from the difference between the total iron and ferrous iron concentration.

Protocol of Ferrozine

This plan only provides a guide, please modify it to meet your specific needs.
1. Divide the equally divided sample of cell lysate (100μL) Placed in Eppendorf tube and connected to 100μL 10mM HCl (Fe3+ solvent) and 100μL iron release reagent (dissolved in an equal volume of 1.4M HCl and 4.5% (w/v) KMnO4 in ultrapure water, freshly prepared) mixed;
Note: HCl/KMnO4 pretreatment can quantitatively release iron from proteins, including iron storage protein ferritin and heme proteins such as hemoglobin. The digestion of iron containing proteins mediated by HCl/KMnO4 is essential for the iron quantification of heme proteins. For example, if the protein is not pretreated with an acidic permanganate solution, treating hemoglobin with iron zinc will not result in the recovery of any Fe2+- Ferrozine complexes.
2. Incubate the mixture in a fume hood at 60℃ for 2 hours, as chlorine gas will be generated during the reaction process;
3. After cooling the mixture to room temperature, add 30μL of iron detection reagents (6.5mM Ferrozine, 6.5mM neocuproine, 2.5M ammonium acetate, and 1M ascorbic acid dissolved in water) to each tube;
4. After 30 minutes, remove 280μL from each tube the solution into the well of a 96 well plate and measure the absorbance at 562nm on a microplate reader.
5. 100μL FeCl3 standard (0-300μM) in10 mM HCl, 100μL 50 mM NaOH, 100μL release reagent and 30μL mixture in the detection reagent. Calculate the iron content of the sample by comparing its absorbance with that of an equal volume standard concentration range prepared in a similar manner to the sample.
Notes:
1) Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems, please try to avoid light as much as possible to slow down fluorescence quenching.
2) For your safety and health, please wear laboratory clothes and disposable gloves when operating.
