Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Analysers

The Most Efficient ESR Solutions for Your Laboratory

Up to 96% hands-on time savings vs. Westergren method[1]

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.

Transforming one of the world’s most commonly ordered lab tests

The technical innovation of iSED ESR analysers consists of “directly” measuring the aggregation of the red blood cells, whereas the traditional methods “indirectly” measure the aggregation of the red blood cells by recording the length at which the red blood cells settle in a Westergren tube.

ESR Results in seconds

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.


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® PRO ESR Analyser
    • Best for higher volume labs that prefer a fully automated, rack-based workflow
    • Results within 20 seconds
    • Rack-based high throughput, walk-away testing

 

  • The iSED® ESR Analyser
    • Best for medium-high volume labs that prefer a fullyautomated, flexible, single tube workflow
    • Results within 20 seconds
    • Small sample from primary EDTA tube
    • Fully automated walk-away operation

 

  • The miniiSED® ESR Analyser
    • Best for lower volume labs that prefer a compact analyser footprint and ideal for hot labs
    • Results in 15 seconds
    • Small sample from primary EDTA tube

ALCOR Scientific’s iSED technology utilises photometric rheology to measure the rouleaux formation, the earliest and most critical phase of red blood cell sedimentation[2]. An EDTA blood sample is injected into the iSED analyser’s flow cell which causes the red blood cells to disaggregate. The flow cell sensors capture the difference in light transmission as the red blood cells begin to reaggregate.

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.
