Should the ESR be Extinct?
24 Aug 2017In this poster produced by Benson Viscometers, the merits of plasma viscosity over the traditional Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) are discussed. Read this poster to see why the clinicians and laboratory scientists consulted for this article feel that the plasma viscosity is a superior test.

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types. Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ViscometersViscometers are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Types of viscometer include rotational, vibrational and falling piston viscometers. Options for viscometers include modular, portable, benchtop and temperature compensation and density measurement features.Plasma Viscosity
