ESR Tubes

ESR Tubes are specially formulated blood collection tubes used for measuring the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), an important diagnostic test for detecting inflammation, infection, and autoimmune disorders. These tubes contain Sodium Citrate anticoagulant, which prevents clotting while maintaining the natural sedimentation properties of red blood cells.

Key Features

• Pre-filled with 3.8% Sodium Citrate for accurate anticoagulation.
• Maintains the correct blood-to-anticoagulant ratio for precise ESR measurement.
• Designed to preserve red blood cell morphology for reliable sedimentation results.
• Leak-proof, sterile construction for safe sample collection.
• Black cap color-coded for easy identification in laboratories.

Applications

• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Testing
• Detection of Inflammatory Conditions
• Monitoring Autoimmune Diseases (e.g., Rheumatoid Arthritis)
• Infection and Chronic Disease Assessment

Advantages

• Ensures standardized and reproducible ESR values.
• Prevents clot formation while maintaining sample stability.
• Compatible with manual and automated ESR analysers.
• Supports accurate clinical evaluation of inflammatory activity.

ESR Tubes are essential tools in clinical pathology for assessing inflammation and monitoring disease progression.
