Hepcidinanalysis.com is located within the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the Radboud university medical center. The team members have a broad expertise in iron metabolism, clinical chemistry, diagnostic medicine, biomedical sciences, molecular biology, mass spectrometry and biochemistry... In 2005, we were the first to employ time-of-flight mass spectrometry to measure hepcidin in urine. We have continued to improve this assay towards a current quantitative assay to measure hepcidin in human serum and urine samples using an stable hepcidin-25 (+40) isotope as internal standard for quantification. In 2010, we have also developed and validated a competitive ELISA, that facilitates measurements for studies with large sample sizes. Using both assays, we have gained thorough expertise on biomedical and pre-analytical factors that influence hepcidin levels in clinical and biological samples and our assay has been used in several biomedical studies. We now coordinate the harmonization..
