Evaluation of the Ves-Matic Cube 200 erythrocyte sedimentation method: comparison with Westergren-based methods.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is still a widely used parameter for acute phase inflammation. Recently, new methods based on direct undiluted measurement of ESR in a standard EDTA tube have been developed. We evaluated the analytic performance of one of these new methods, the Ves-Matic Cube 200 (Diesse Diagnostica Senese, Siena, Italy), and compared it with several established Westerg...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ves-Matic Cube 200--an automated system for the measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Ves-Matic Cube 200 is fully automated analyzer that performs erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measurement using the standard ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood sample tube, thus markedly reducing the analytical time and avoiding the need for an extra blood sample. The aim of this study was to assess the automatic Ves-Matic Cube 200 system for the measurement of ESR in comparison with the...
متن کاملAssessment of Diesse Ves-matic automated system for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) using a closed tube system reduces the biohazard risk to laboratory staff. The Diesse Ves-matic system offers manual or vacuum collection of blood into plastic tubes, automated mixing of the sample, and automated reading of the end point after 20 minutes of sedimentation. This system was compared with the 1977 Westergren ESR method of the ...
متن کاملAn automated method for recording the Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The peroxydatic activity of haemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide catalyses the oxidation of TMB to a coloured product. Haemoglobin peroxidase has been termed a 'pseudoperoxidase'7 because, unlike true peroxidases which exhibit specificity for phenols, erythrocytes contain a peroxidase (erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase) specific for oxidation of reduced glutathione. This causes the...
متن کاملAberration of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate by Zinc Nanoparticles
Dear Editor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a useful basic clinical pathology laboratory investigation. It can be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of several diseases. At present, a new automated method with proven reliability is available for ESR test (1). Here, the authors report on observation on a laboratory experiment to test the effect of zinc nanoparticles on ESR results. The...
