HemaTechnologies manufactures the ESR Stat Plus™ erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzer for use in hospitals and clinics. A direct-read analyzer, the ESR Stat Plus uses a much smaller blood sample than the traditional Westergren method, requiring only a 25-microliter capillary tube filled with EDTA blood. This small sample size makes the ESR Stat Plus an excellent choice for children’s hospitals and pediatric clinics, where sample volume is an issue. HemaTechnologies’ EZ-SAFE heparinized self-sealing analysis tubes are Mylar-wrapped for safety and significantly reduce biohazard waste.

Simple to use, the ESR Stat Plus provides fast results. The user simply places the analysis tube inside the analyzer and in 5 minutes the sed rate result is available. The ESR Stat Plus displays the results on-screen, matched to the patient ID. An optional thermal printer is available for producing hard copy results and a bar code reader is available to speed processing and reduce patient identification errors. HemaTechnologies’ ESR Stat Plus is a second-generation sed rate analyzer and offers proven accuracy with a correlation of 0.96 or better when compared with the standard 1-hour Westergren method.

The direct-read feature of the ESR Stat Plus virtually eliminates sampling errors and the 5-minute processing speed improves lab turn-around time, making the ESR Stat Plus ideal for busy emergency rooms. HemaTechnologies develops, manufactures, and markets medical laboratory instruments with value-added features that improve patient care and improve the efficiency of providers. HemaTechnologies is located in Lebanon, New Jersey. For more information, please visit www.hematek.com or contact hematek@hematek.com .
