A new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [PDF]
Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2007 The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or sedimentation rate is a measure of the settling of red blood cells in a tube of blood during one hour. The rate is an indication of inflammation and increases in many diseases.

Normal chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by filtration leucapheresis [PDF]
, 1977 The chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by the Terumo Filtration Leucapheresis System (F.L.) was examined by the method of Boyden's chamber. The number of cells migrating through the Millipore filter was expressed as the chemotactic activity ...

A pulsed photoacoustic technique for studying red blood cell sedimentation
Journal of Biomedical Photonics & Engineering, 2015 This study shows the capability of a pulsed photoacoustic (PA) technique to measure red blood cell sedimentation and aggregation processes in vitro. Red blood cells are the main source of absorption in blood. The PA signal is proportional to the sample’s

Representative subsampling of sedimenting blood [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019 It is often necessary to extract a small amount of a suspension, such as blood, from a larger sample of the same material for the purposes of diagnostics, testing or imaging. A practical challenge is that the cells in blood sediment noticeably on the time scale of a few minutes, making a representative subsampling of the original sample challenging ...
