ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE SYSTEM

The Sedi-Rate system allows a rapid and safe execution of the ESR test according to the Westergreen method. The system is composed of a tube in PP (12x86 mm) with label, complete with pink-cap containing 0,2 ml sodium citrate. The pipette in PS is silk-screened with a graduation scale from "0" to "170" and is provided with a fibre cap (allowing the blood to reach the 0 level) and with a little piston allowing a quick filling of the pipette thanks to the pressure exerted within the tube. Test procedure:

1 - fill the test tube with whole blood up to the mark on the label (1 ml)

2 - mix delicately by turning it over

3 - insert the pipette until the blood reaches the 0 level

4 - wait 60 minutes and read.
