Product Description
Ferric citrate (Iron(III) citrate), an orally bioactive iron supplement, is a potent phosphate binder. Ferric citrate may be utilized in the study of iron deficiency anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Iron(III) citrate, or ferric citrate; 1 mM; 24 hr) dramatically causes CM cell death[1]. (CM) cells in a way that is dependent on dosage[1].
ln Vivo
Here, we used age-matched wild-type mice and the Col4a3 deletion mouse model of progressive chronic kidney disease to examine the effects of ferric citrate (25 μg/g) supplementation against a mineral-sufficient control diet. For four weeks starting at six weeks of age when the knockout mice had overt chronic renal disease (CKD), or for six weeks starting at four weeks of age when the mice had early CKD, ferric citrate is administered to the mice. Regardless of when treatment is started, ferric citrate reverses iron shortage and anemia in knockout mice, and it also lowers the levels of FGF23 in the blood and on the bone. Additionally, ferric citrate enhances heart health and increases survival rates noticeably[3]. Ferric citrate is a safe and effective phosphate binder that preserves hemoglobin while increasing iron storage, decreasing the need for intravenous iron, reducing erythropoietin-stimulating drug use. Serum ferritin, hemoglobin, and transferrin saturation can all be raised by ferric citrate[2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Reconstitution Calculator allows you to calculate the volume of solvent required to reconstitute your vial.

  • Enter the mass of the reagent and the desired reconstitution concentration as well as the correct units
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer appears in the Volume (to add to vial) box
