Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) can be measured using different methods, of which the Westergren method is considered the gold standard by ICSH and CLSI. As you will learn from this white paper, we may be able to speed up the way we live, work and travel; we cannot force red blood cells to settle faster than they do.
Bruker Biomedical Systems has been in operation for over 50 years and distributes to over 100 countries. We are proud to be the World Leader in Aerospray® staining technology and cytocentrifugation used in hematology, gram, tuberculosis, and cytology staining.
In addition, Bruker Biomedical Systems set the gold standard in the U.S. and around the world for conducting diagnostic tests to determine cystic fibrosis and manufactures and supplies erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analyzers that provide results for various hematology disorders, inflammation, and infection. We also offer vapor pressure and freezing point osmometers for clinical, research, and pharmaceutical labs.
Offering the world’s most reliable solutions in performance and reliability, Bruker Biomedical Systems’ mission is to improve patient care by empowering laboratories to do more in less time, enabling a rapid and accurate course of treatment for patients.
We were the first to offer automated ESR testing in the USA. Now for more than 25 years, Bruker Biomedical Systems has been a recognized leader of automated ESR testing based on the gold standard Westergren method. Our Automated ESR Analyzers are scalable and perfect for multi-site health systems to meet specific volume needs, from 50 tests per month up to 5,000 tests per month.

ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is one of the most performed first-line in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests. The accuracy and reliability of laboratory tests have always had a major influence on high-quality healthcare as they support medical practitioners in detecting diseases quickly and ruling out other serious medical conditions that cause similar symptoms. With this information, patients get the right treatment and medication, which contributes to a speedy recovery and prognosis. Correlation to the gold standard ensures accurate results.
The analyzer you choose depends on the volume of tests your laboratory performs per month. The Microsed performs 40 tests per hour and up to 500 tests per month, making it ideal for lower-volume labs. The Mix-Rate X20 performs 80 tests per hour and up to 5000 tests per month to meet the needs of higher-volume labs. Both analyzers have 15 or 30-minute reading time capability, allowing you to customize your lab’s workflow.
