ESR
VACUETTE® ESR tubes are used to collect and transport venous blood for sedimentation rate tests. ESR measurements refer to the Westergren method.
The ESR analysis mainly shows changes in plasma proteins that follow most of the acute and chronic infections, tumours, and degenerative diseases.
ESR tubes from Greiner Bio-One are plastic tubes with a predefined vacuum for an exact aspiration volume. The VACUETTE® ESR tubes contain a buffered 3.2 % trisodium citrate solution (0.109 mol/l). The mixing ratio is 1 part citrate solution to 4 parts blood. The tubes are sterile inside.
