Fig. 5.3
In fig. 5.3 is represented the same sample of fig. 5.2, but read after the
sedimentation time of 20 minutes. In this case the Red Cells are deposited
on the bottom of the tube, and above them there is the Plasma. Plasma is
completely transparent for the reading sensor, in fact the corresponding
readings values are at the maximum level of light. This allows the software
to detect the final reading level that is that of the Red Cells. Calculating the
rate of level variation will bring to the final ESR value.
