-15%ESR Stand is a laboratory accessory designed to securely support ESR tubes in the correct vertical position during erythrocyte sedimentation rate testing. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is determined by observing the sedimentation of red blood cells in an appropriate graduated tube under standardised test conditions. Correct tube positioning is important because tilting can affect sedimentation and consequently influence the result. The stand provides dedicated positions for holding compatible ESR tubes upright throughout the required sedimentation period, helping maintain an organised laboratory workflow when processing one or multiple samples. KEY FEATURES: • Dedicated stand for ESR testing • Holds compatible ESR tubes vertically • Secure tube-support positions • Supports simultaneous processing of multiple samples where applicable • Stable benchtop configuration • Reusable laboratory accessory • Simple and practical design • Suitable for routine laboratory workflows COMMON APPLICATIONS: • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate testing • Westergren ESR procedures where compatible • Haematology laboratory workflows • Clinical laboratory investigations • Medical laboratory training • Biomedical laboratory teaching IDEAL FOR: • Hospital laboratories • Diagnostic laboratories • Haematology laboratories • Medical laboratories • Clinics with laboratory services • Universities and medical training institutions • Research and teaching laboratories GENERAL USE: Place the ESR stand on a stable, level work surface. Insert appropriately prepared ESR tubes into the designated holders and ensure that each tube remains securely supported and vertically positioned throughout the test. Perform the ESR procedure, timing and result interpretation according to the laboratory's validated method and applicable operating procedures. After use, clean and maintain the stand according to the manufacturer's instructions and laboratory infection-prevention procedures.`
