The EZ-RATE™ pipette provides a safe and simple method for performing Westergren ESR determinations directly in a 13 mm sodium citrate blood collection tube.

• Highly accurate and reproducible

The test is conducted by inserting the pipette into the blood collection tube. Blood will automatically rise into the pipette and stop at the zero mark. After a period of 60 min, the numerical results may be recorded directly from the imprinted scale on the pipette. The test eliminates the need to transfer blood samples, as no additional vials, tubes, or transfer pipette are necessary.

The polystyrene EZ-RATE™ pipette is graduated from 0 to 180 mm and features a fibrous plug located at the zero mark. The plug acts as a self-sealing aerosol barrier to prevent hazardous substances from escaping the pipette.
