2ml Grass Black Top ESR Tube Whole Blood Collection Tube
1.Product description
The ESR Tube Whole Blood Collection Tube is a specialized tube designed for collecting whole blood samples and conducting ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) tests.
2.Key features
- Anticoagulant: ESR tubes usually contain an appropriate amount of anticoagulant to ensure that the blood remains in a liquid state within the tube, preventing clotting.
- Transparent Material: Most ESR tubes are transparent, allowing operators to observe the sedimentation process of the blood sample within the tube clearly.
- Scale: Some ESR tubes come with a scale to help operators accurately measure the distance of erythrocyte sedimentation in the tube, enabling the calculation of the ESR value.
- Stability: ESR tubes are designed to ensure the stability of the sample for accurate measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
3.Application
- Diagnosis of Inflammatory Conditions: ESR is a non-specific marker of inflammation. High ESR levels can indicate the presence of an inflammatory condition in the body, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. ESR tubes are crucial for obtaining accurate ESR measurements for diagnostic purposes.
- Monitoring Disease Progression: ESR levels can also be used to monitor the progression of certain diseases over time. By regularly measuring ESR using these tubes, healthcare providers can track changes in inflammation levels and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
- Screening for Infections: ESR levels can sometimes be elevated in the presence of infections. Healthcare providers may use ESR tubes to assess the inflammatory response in patients with suspected or confirmed infections, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring of the infection.
- Assessment of Autoimmune Disorders: ESR is often elevated in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis. ESR tubes are essential tools for evaluating the inflammatory status in patients with autoimmune conditions and monitoring their disease activity.
- Research Studies: ESR measurements using these tubes play a vital role in research studies related to inflammation, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions where monitoring inflammatory markers is necessary.
FAQ
What type of tube is used for ESR collection?
ESR BLOOD COLLECTION TUBES
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.
Which tube is used to send ESR sample?
Container: EDTA (lavender tube) or Streck ESR Vacuum Tube.
What is the use of ESR tube stand?
ESR Stand Plastic 10 Tubes | Pathology Lab Product ...
ESR Stand is a simple non-specific screening test that indirectly measures the presence of inflammation in the body associated with conditions such as infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases.
Which anticoagulant is used in ESR tube?
trisodium citrate
For ESR determination, blood anticoagulated with 3.8% trisodium citrate (TSC) or ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) can used.
