Product Description: Standardized ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Anticoagulation Testing Solution

Key Features

1. ESR-Specific Anticoagulation: Uses optimized sodium citrate (1:4 blood-to-anticoagulant ratio) to prevent clotting while preserving RBC aggregation properties—critical for accurate sedimentation rate measurement.
2. Full Standardization: Pre-calibrated tubes and standardized protocols eliminate variability from manual anticoagulant mixing, ensuring consistent results across batches and operators.
3. Sample Stability: Airtight, sterile tube design maintains sample integrity for up to 4 hours at room temperature, reducing the need for immediate testing and enabling batch processing.
4. Dual Compatibility: Works seamlessly with manual Westergren methods (gold standard for ESR) and automated ESR analyzers, adapting to different lab workflows and equipment setups.
5. Quality Compliance: Meets global standards (CLSI, ISO) for ESR testing, ensuring traceability and reliability for clinical diagnosis and research.

Applications

• Inflammation Screening: Detects systemic inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis—where elevated ESR indicates active disease.
• Infection Monitoring: Assesses severity and treatment response in bacterial infections (e.g., pneumonia, sepsis) or chronic infections (e.g., tuberculosis).
• Chronic Disease Management: Tracks disease activity in autoimmune disorders (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis) or chronic inflammatory conditions, guiding medication adjustments.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Monitors for post-operative inflammation or infection, helping identify complications like wound abscesses or organ rejection early.
