Erythrocyte Sed Rat Bld Photometric

Definition

  • This testing utilizes a photometric rheoscope methodology to measure the most critical phase of the early-phase in phenomenon of red cell sedimentation, rouleaux formation, to produce ESR results. Results are provided in 20 seconds, and the answers are extrapolated to mm/hr.
