Differences in erythrocyte sedimentation rates using a modified Westergren method and an alternate method. [PDF]
J Clin Lab Anal, 2019 IntroductionWorldwide laboratories have adopted the use of modified or alternate methods for measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The iSED from Alcor Scientific is a novel, alternate ESR method based on photometric aggregometry which offers improved operator safety and reduced analysis time.

Comparison of iSED and Ves-Matic Cube 200 Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Measurements With Westergren Method. [PDF]
J Clin Lab Anal, 2015 BackgroundThe erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test is performed widely in laboratories. Besides the traditional Westergren method, new methods have been developed for ESR measurements. We aimed to compare the instruments using new methods, iSED (Alcor Scientific) and Ves‐Matic Cube 200 (Diesse Diagnostica Senese, Italy) with the Westergren method ...

Analytical and Clinical Evaluation of Two Methods for Measuring Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Eastern Indigo Snakes (Drymarchon couperi) [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a hematological test that can detect inflammatory activity within the body. Although not specific for any particular disease, ESR is often used as a screening “sickness indicator” due to its reliability and low ...
