Analytical validation of the iSED automated analyzer for erythrocyte sedimentation rate

Introduction iSED is an alternate automated analyzer for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) based on photometric rheology technology that estimates ESR by measuring rouleaux formation. The aim was to evaluate the analytical performance of the iSED analyzer and compare the results with the Westergren method and another alternate ESR analyzer, TEST1. Methods Validation was performed at two study sites according to the recommendations by the...
