Device for performing analyses on biological fluids and related method

摘要

A device for measuring the sedimentation rate in biological fluids, and particularly the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in blood samples. The device comprises: holders ( 3 ) for test tubes (P) containing samples of biological fluid; agitator devices ( 25 ) for agitating the test tubes; at least one detector ( 17, 19 ) for reading the levels inside the test tubes. The holders together form a continuous flexible member ( 1 ) defining a closed path along which the agitator devices and the detector are arranged.
