Frequently Asked Questions
What method does the Sedi-Rate system use?
It follows the classic Westergren method, measuring red blood cell sedimentation over a defined interval on a standard 0–200 mm scale for consistent, comparable ESR results.
Are the pipettes disposable?
Yes. The polyethylene pipettes are single-use, eliminating glass cleaning steps and reducing the risk of cross-contamination and sharps-related biohazard exposure in the lab.
What is the difference between SKU 3470 and SKU 3471?
Both are PE Westergren systems; they differ in kit configuration and quantity, which is reflected in the per-pack pricing. SKU 3471 is the larger-quantity option, while SKU 3470 is the smaller pack.
Is the system suitable for accredited clinical labs?
Yes. Lot numbers on each kit support traceability requirements for CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited workflows, making it appropriate for routine clinical hematology use.
