Description

Disposable Plastic Westergren ESR Pipette with tube are made of medical high transparent polystyrene (PS), used for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Its the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and its a non-specific measure of inflammation.

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a non-specific test that alerts physicians to the possible presence of body diseases or abnormalities. The ESR is determined by. measuring, in millimeters per hour, the distance red cells have fallen after separating from the plasma in a vertical sed-rate pipette..

It reflects the tendency of red blood cells to settle more rapidly in the face of some disease states, usually because of increases in plasma fibrinogen, immunoglobulins, and other acute-phase reaction proteins. Changes in red cell shape or numbers may also affect the ESR.
