Abstract
A device for spreading or colouring and for determining a sedimentation rate includes a first group arranged so as to sample a blood sample from a tube and to carry out a smear test on the sample and a second group arranged so as to sample a blood sample from a tube and to carry out a sedimentation rate determination. At least one sampling member is controllable for an operation by the first group and an operation by the second group for sampling a blood sample so that a sample sampled for one group is not used by the other group. The second group is provided with a sensor. A converter is arranged so as to receive one or more light-transmission measurements from the sensor and to determine a sedimentation rate.
