BEACONIC ESR20
Overview
The Beaconic ESR20 is a fully automatic erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analyzer manufactured by Beacon Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., using the modified Westergren method. It has 20 channels with random access loading, runs up to 40 tests per hour, and measures up to 140 mm/hr. A built-in thermal printer, 3.5-inch color touchscreen, temperature correction and Wi-Fi/IoT connectivity for HIS integration suit it to hospital laboratories and diagnostic centers. Up to 1,024 results are stored in memory.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which red blood cells get settled at the bottom of a tube over a period of 1 hour. Under normal conditions, erythrocytes (RBCs) drop slowly, leaving little clear plasma. Increased amounts of abnormal proteins and other proteins such as fibrinogen and immunoglobulins in the blood, which are increased due to inflammation, cause red blood cells to drop more rapidly, increasing the ESR.
Beaconic ESR 20 measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube containing a blood sample over a period of 30 minutes. It has 20 wells to test 20 blood samples simultaneously.
It uses the principle of Optical Photometry, in which an optical bench of 20 emitter-detector pairs scans the blood samples and detects the transition layer of plasma, thereby evaluating the effective height of the plasma column. The 60th-minute data is then predicted in 30 minutes by using an advanced prediction algorithm.
It quickly measures and gives the ESR value in 30 minutes, providing a prediction of the 1-hour result.
Yes, it has random accessibility.
No, only standard tubes used for automated ESR machines can be used on Beaconic ESR 20.
