Application evaluation of Monitor-20 automated erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzer / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the comparability of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) between the Monitor‐20 automated ESR analyzer and manual Westergren method .Methods ESR of 50 clinic samples were detected by Monitor‐20 automated ESR an‐alyzer and Westergren method respectively ,and the results of ESR were compared analyzed .Results There there was no significant differences between ESR results detected by by Monitor‐20 automated ESR analyzer and Westergren method (t= 0 .4673 ,P> 0 . 05) .The satisfactory correlation was founded between the two method (r=0 .9890 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion There may be a satisfac‐tory correlation between Monitor‐20 automated ESR analyzer and manual Westergren method in the determination of ESR .Monitor‐20 automated ESR analyzer could be a rapid ,precise ,accurate method in measuring ESR ,and could be worthy to extend the applica‐tion in clinic .
