Description

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) stand is crucial for maintaining the integrity and precision of the ESR test. The ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of a vertical tube over a fixed period. This test helps clinicians detect inflammation and monitor chronic diseases. Therefore, the stand must keep the ESR tubes perfectly perpendicular. Any slight tilt introduces error into the reading.

In addition, this stand is typically designed for the Westergren method, which is the international standard. It features multiple stations (e.g., 5 or 10) to process several patient samples simultaneously. Consequently, laboratories can maintain efficient workflow and quick turnaround times for these common diagnostic tests.

Compliance and Precision in Laboratory Work

Precision is paramount for reliable diagnostic results. The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) stand features a bubble level or precision feet adjustment. This allows technicians to ensure the entire stand is level on the benchtop. Furthermore, the slots or clips securely hold the delicate Westergren tubes, preventing accidental spillage or breakage during the mandatory one-hour sedimentation period.

The durable construction, often from metal or high-impact plastic, resists common laboratory chemicals and ensures long-term stability.

Key Features for Accurate ESR Testing

This dedicated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) stand combines simplicity with clinical necessity:

  • Vertical Precision: Ensures tubes are held perfectly perpendicular to guarantee accurate sedimentation results.
  • Multi-Sample Capacity: Features multiple stations for efficient batch processing of patient samples.
  • Durable Construction: Built with chemical-resistant materials suitable for daily laboratory environment use.
  • Integrated Leveling: Includes features to verify the stand is perfectly horizontal before testing.
  • Secure Tube Holders: Prevents slipping or tilting of the fragile Westergren or Wintrobe tubes.

Choosing the precise Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) stand ensures your laboratory meets the highest standards for inflammation testing accuracy. Before setting up the test, verify the stand is completely level to prevent erroneous results.
