The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is the rate at which red blood cells in anticoagulated whole blood descend in a standardized tube over a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation .
Sedimentation rate may refer to: Sedimentation rate of particles in a liquid, described by Stokes' law; Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, a medical test for inflammation;
Erythrocyte aggregation is the main determinant of blood viscosity at low shear rate. Rouleaux formation also determines Erythrocyte sedimentation rate which is a non-specific indicator of the presence of disease. [6] Influence of erythrocyte aggregation on in vivo blood flow is still a controversial issue. [7]
The latter is one cardiologists hear about a lot from women over 50. Cardiologists Harvey Kramer, MD and Matthew Budoff, MD both say there are some heart health tips they discuss with all of their ...

Recent non-consolidated radiolarian oozes have sedimentation rates of 1 to 5 meters/million years. [7] In radiolarian oozes deposited in the equatorial Eastern Atlantic 11.5 meters/million years have been measured. In upwelling areas like off the Peruvian coast extremely high values of 100 meters/million years were reported [citation needed].
A laboratory ultracentrifuge. In chemistry, a Svedberg unit or svedberg (symbol S, sometimes Sv [a]) is a non-SI metric unit for sedimentation coefficients.The Svedberg unit offers a measure of a particle's size indirectly based on its sedimentation rate under acceleration (i.e. how fast a particle of given size and shape settles out of suspension).
