ESR-Vacuum Tubes
ESR-Vacuum Tubes are evacuated tubes used for the collection of venous blood. ESR-Vacuum Tubes are used to transport and process blood for testing the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) of whole blood in the clinical laboratory. ESR-Vacuum Tubes are available in 1.2ml and 2.0ml vacuum draw configurations, and are designed specifically for use with the ESR-100 and ESR-Auto Plus automated sedimentation rate analyzers. ESR-Vacuum Tubes contain tri-sodium citrate to avoid coagulation. After the tube is mixed, it is placed in the ESR instrument. Each instrument automatically prints or downloads the ESR result in 30 minutes.
New! ESR Tube Labeling Sleeves
ESR Tube Labeling Sleeves provide an easy, low-cost method of positively identifying samples without interfering with the ESR-Auto Plus automated testing process. The labeling sleeves are made from a thin, durable plastic and are designed specifically for use with Streck ESR-Vacuum Tubes. They allow for the application of secondary patient identification labels without obstructing the blood column during analysis. The labeling sleeve accommodates the use of virtually any size secondary label, and will remain securely attached to the patient sample until the technologist disposes of the tube or deliberately removes the sleeve. Packaged in sets of 100 sleeves, 20 sheets containing five sleeves each are shrink-wrapped on a cardboard backing for stability.
Extended Stability
Patient samples can be maintained from the time of blood collection for up to 72 hours prior to analysis when transported and stored at 2°-10°C in all Streck ESR-Vacuum Tubes.
Safety Coated Tubes
Safety Coated ESR-Vacuum Tubes are designed with an outer Mylar® coating that contains glass and blood specimens in the event of breakage, which reduces the risk of injury and potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens. An independent packaging consultant reports that Safety Coated ESR-Vacuum Tubes are 10 times more impact resistant than glass collection tubes, significantly reducing accidental breakage.
High Altitude Tubes
ESR-Vacuum Tubes for higher altitude locations are also available. The level of vacuum contained within the high altitude tubes is slightly increased relative to the standard 1.2ml product. The increased vacuum allows venous blood collection draws at high elevations to fill all the way to the desired product fill line. Use of the high altitude tubes at lower elevations (~2500 ft above sea level and below) may result in tubes filling well above the recommended product fill line.
