About the Company
Aferrix is an innovative leader in development and applications of novel tools for early diagnosis and monitoring of toxic iron in the serum. The company has developed several methods that quantify different forms of toxic iron in the serum, which are not detected by conventional tests.
Aferrix offers iron testing services and kits for research and treatment centers that specialize in iron over load diseases (Thalassemia, Hemochromatosis, Myelodysplastic syndrome) and to pharmaceutical companies that are developing iron chelators.
