Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Analysers
The Most Efficient ESR Solutions for Your Laboratory
7 x longer sample stability than any other ESR method
Sedimentation rates are one of the oldest and most commonly used tests in the world. Isn’t it time they were easier to perform?
ALCOR® Scientific’s iSED® analysers are designed to make ESR testing as easy and efficient as possible, providing results within 20 seconds with the least amount of hands-on time. The analysers allow for up to 28 hours of room temperature or 48 hours refrigerated sample stability.
Product Overview
Transforming one of the world’s most commonly ordered lab tests
ESR Results in seconds
Up to 96% hands-on time savings vs. Westergren method[1]
The iSED technology is highly correlated to the Westergren method and provides results in mm/hr. Test results are available in just 15-20 seconds without the drawbacks and inconvenience of traditional ESR testing.
7 x longer sample stability than any other ESR method
iSED ESR analysers allow for up to 28 hours of room temperature (18-25°C) or 48 hours refrigerated (4-8°C) sample stability, helping you streamline logistics and ensure reliable results.
There is an ALCOR® Scientific’s iSED® analyser available to suit the need of any laboratory from point of care/ low volume testing through to high volume ESR testing.

The iSED® ESR analyser family helps laboratories simplify ESR testing while saving hands-on-time. By running directly from capped primary EDTA tubes, all three systems reduce manual sample handling, improve operator safety, and minimise the risk of errors associated with traditional ESR methods.
Fast results available in as little as 15–20 seconds supporting quicker clinical decision-making and helping laboratories keep pace with demanding workflows.
Scarce laboratory resources demand the most efficient ESR workflow
