The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) determined using manual or semi-automated methods has usually been judged a simple procedure that could be performed without any form of Quality Control. According to this point of view, the ESR would seem a semi-quantitative test instead of a real hematological test with any clinical importance. The new millennium has consolidated ESR automation and a QC plan cannot be postponed.
Using Test1, an automated ESR analyzer, a new latex control material was evaluated and compared with fresh whole blood for quality control purposes.
The new latex control showed satisfactory reproducibility, precision, and "commutability" in comparison to quality control procedures that use fresh whole blood samples.
The new standard represents another advance in ESR testing improving the accuracy of automated TEST1 measurements.
采用手工或半自动方法测定红细胞沉降率（ESR）通常被认为是一种简单的操作，无需任何形式的质量控制即可进行。按照这种观点，ESR似乎是一种半定量检测，而非具有任何临床重要性的真正血液学检测。新千年巩固了ESR自动化，质量控制计划不能再推迟。
使用Test1自动ESR分析仪，评估一种新型乳胶质控材料，并与新鲜全血进行比较以用于质量控制目的。
与使用新鲜全血样本的质量控制程序相比，新型乳胶质控显示出令人满意的重现性、精密度和“互换性”。
新标准代表了ESR检测的又一进步，提高了自动TEST1测量的准确性。
