Abstract:
A device is disclosed for centrifugally driving liquid flow to sequentially dispense aliquots from a reservoir while the device rotates. Also disclosed is a method and system for analyzing a liquid to derive an indicator of sedimentation rate of the liquid using sequential aliquoting, using the disclosed device in some embodiments. A particular application is the analysis of blood samples, including sedimentation rate and hematocrit.
