ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE-MEASURING TUBE, AND ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE-MEASURING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an erythrocyte sedimentation rate-measuring tube having a structure capable of stably and constantly sampling a fixed amount of blood even in the case of a small amount without requiring any experience.;SOLUTION: An erythrocyte sedimentation rate-measuring tube 1 has shape dimensions for sampling blood by utilizing a capillary phenomenon, and is set to be in the form of a cylindrical pipe-like transparent container 2 whose both ends are open for optically measuring the sedimentation rate of erythrocyte, and at the same time an amount-of-blood-sampling-prescribing member 3 for prescribing the amount of sampled blood is filled and arranged inside the transparent container 2. As a result, the amount of blood that is sampled by the measuring tube 1 is controlled to an amount that is prescribed by the amount-of- blood-sampling prescribing member 3 that is filled and arranged inside the transparent container 2, thus constantly and stably sampling a fixed amount without requiring any experience.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
