Apparatus for determining sedimentation rates including a first support means having a plurality of tubes, held vertically and spaced, and a second support means having a plurality of tubes, of larger diameter than the tubes mounted on the first support means, and each able to receive a blood sample, the tubes being vertical and spaced on the said second support means, and a single suction device mounted at the upper end of the first support means, the support means being movable with respect to each other between a first position in which the tubes of the first support means are separated from the tubes of the second support means, a second position in which the lower ends of the tubes of the first support means dip into the tubes of the second support means, and a third position in which the sedimentation of the red blood corpuscles takes place. The apparatus includes tubular elastic sleeves mounted on the lower ends of the tubes on the first support and means are provided in the tubes on the second support for deforming the tubular elastic sleeves to seal the lower ends of the tubes on the first support when said support means are in the third position. |
