An evacuated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tube is a sterile, single-use container made of glass or plastic, pre-filled with a measured vacuum and the anticoagulant sodium citrate. It is used to collect and preserve whole blood samples for the quantitative measurement of ESR, a common laboratory test that helps detect inflammation in the body.
These tubes are designed for in vitro diagnostic use and are intended to be used either alone or with other IVD instruments such as ESR analysers or scaled measurement devices. As single-use devices, they are supplied sterile and are not intended for reuse, ensuring sample integrity and reducing contamination risk in clinical testing.
