Elemental Analysis - Iron (Fe)

From being a crucial building block of steel to feeding plants and helping to carry oxygen in the blood, iron is an essential metal for sustaining life. Iron is a brittle and hard substance. The most abundant of all metals, its pure form quickly corrodes when exposed to moist air and high temperatures. Iron is also the fourth most common element by weight in the earth's crust, and the core of the earth is thought to be composed of iron.

Iron is essential for the survival of living organisms. It plays a role in the production of chlorophyll in plants. In animals, it is a component of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in the blood from the lungs to tissues in the body. In addition, iron is the most abundant trace mineral in the human body.

Ninety percent of all metals refined these days are iron. Most are used to make steel, an alloy of iron and carbon used in manufacturing and civil engineering, for example. Stainless steel containing at least 10 percent chromium is highly resistant to corrosion. Steel is generally used in kitchen sets.

On the other hand, iron is an important nutrient. Iron deficiency causes anemia and fatigue in adults that affect the ability to do physical work. It can impair memory and other mental functions in teenagers.

In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also iron (Fe) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
