ESR Analyzer
The ESR analyzer is an automated sed rate instrument that provides ESR results in a very short time. It features a 25 microliter sample volume and it has an excellent correlation to the standard Westergren method. The instrument is well represented on proficiency test surveys, with 400 labs participating in the CAP survey and over 150 labs in API.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation. To perform the test, anticoagulated blood was traditionally placed in an upright tube, known as a Westergren tube, and the rate at which the red blood cells fall was measured and reported in mm/h.
