A 20-country poll shows nearly 90% believe powerful nations need the international system, alongside strong support for a woman Secretary-General
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As world leaders arrive in New York for UN General Assembly High-level Week, the United Nations Foundation today released results of a new global poll, which finds that 57% of citizens fear for the future, while nearly 90% believe that not even the most powerful nations should confront turbulent times on their own. The global public wants a reinvigorated UN, under an outward-facing leader, even as 85% have heard little about the race to find a new Secretary-General, the poll shows.
The report, “A Mandate for Renewal: Global Public Opinion on the United Nations and the Selection of the 10th Secretary-General,” analyzes results of a poll conducted in 20 countries home to 56% of the global population. Fielded by GeoPoll, the poll is the first to survey the race to lead the UN and captures the views of 5,000 citizens, including from all 15 members of the UN Security Council, as it votes on candidates for what has been described as the “world’s toughest job.”
“In an increasingly turbulent world, we need a multilateral system that delivers,” said UN Foundation President and CEO Elizabeth Cousens. “A re-energized United Nations is vital to that task, making the upcoming leadership transition possibly the most consequential in the UN’s history. The selection of a new Secretary-General offers a rare opportunity to define why the institution exists, who it serves, and how it can achieve results in a fragmented world.”
With a crowded field and no clear frontrunner, the Secretary-General race is moving into decisive stages, with the Security Council expected to hold straw polls directly before and shortly after UN General Assembly High-level Week.
The survey shows that while a majority of citizens (58%) trust the UN to deliver, public patience is finite. Citizens want a bold, visible leader who can rebuild faith in shared solutions, while six in ten respondents want the UN to break with 80 years of history and select the first woman Secretary-General.
“While the world still trusts the UN, the global public is eager for change,” said former UN Deputy Secretary-General and UN Foundation Board Member Mark Malloch-Brown. “The next Secretary-General will have an opportunity to connect directly with citizens and show how the UN can turn their expectations into results that matter in their daily lives.”
Key findings from the report include:
Citizens fear for their future in a turbulent world. Nearly 6 in 10 respondents (57%) are worried about the future. Older generations are the most pessimistic (64% worried), while young adults (18–34) are the most optimistic (37% hopeful).
Conflict prevention tops public priorities. When asked to select their top three priorities for global cooperation, more than half of respondents (58%) named preventing and ending armed conflicts. This was followed by reducing poverty and inequality (45%), taking climate action (40%), protecting human rights (35%), and managing the global economy (29%).
A majority trusts the UN to deliver, but with a North-South divide. Nearly 6 in 10 respondents (58%) trust the UN and other international institutions to make progress on the challenges that matter to them most, but 39% are skeptical. Trust in institutions’ ability to deliver is higher in the Global South (65%) than the Global North (44%). Only 13% believe the UN is outdated and no longer necessary in the modern world.
The public wants an outward-facing leader. While demand for renewal of the UN is high, only 17% want the next Secretary-General to focus primarily on internal reform. Instead, citizens want a leader who looks outward: a diplomat (28%) to end wars, a crisis manager (26%) for global emergencies, or a moral voice (25%) to speak out on human rights and existential threats.
The UN leadership race has yet to break through. Most global citizens (85%) have heard little to nothing about the selection of a new Secretary-General. While official candidates are not entirely unknown (averaging 19% name recognition), they have yet to achieve wider public visibility.
Demand for a historic first. Six in ten respondents (61%) say it is important for the next UN Secretary-General to be a woman. Support for a woman leader is highest among women (68%), young adults aged 18–34 (68%), and respondents across the Global South (70%).

Rooted in self-developed technologies, Huawei has achieved breakthroughs in key areas such as bandwidth, reliability, power consumption, and latency.
High bandwidth and high reliability: Hi-ONE is the first optical engine to integrate 36 channels of optical transceivers, significantly reducing the number of discrete components and lowering failure rates at the very source. Hi-ONE integrates key technologies, including compound optical chips, silicon photonic chips, and optoelectronic RF chips. Through a balanced design of optical, mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal elements, Hi-ONE supports a transmission capacity of 7.2 TB/s on a single optical engine, and makes built-in light sources a reality in the NPO engine. As a result, overall reliability is improved by 10 times, ensuring the stable operation of long-duration training tasks.
Low power consumption and low latency: With the adoption of a linear direct-drive architecture, Hi-ONE eliminates the need for high-power oDSP chips, cutting power consumption by approximately 66% and latency by about 90%. This both lowers energy costs and boosts communications efficiency.
Standards and ecosystems drive industry consensus
Alongside product innovation, Huawei has also made progress in NPO standards and industry ecosystem development. In May 2026, the standard proposal for “12.8 TB/s NPO Module”, jointly submitted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), Huawei, and other companies, was officially initiated by the OIF, with support from more than 40 industry chain vendors worldwide.

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2026 – HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 kicked off today in Shanghai. The first keynote of the date was by David Wang, the Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman at Huawei. In his speech (Advancing the Agentic World, Building a Solid Silicon Foundation), Wang highlighted the work the company is doing alongside industry stakeholders to build powerful AI infrastructure, lay a solid computing foundation, and address the challenges and opportunities in the intelligent world to come.
David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman at Huawei, delivering a keynote speech at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026
AI is sweeping the world faster than any previous technological revolution. Today, foundation model parameters are rapidly approaching 10 trillion, and are projected to exceed 100 trillion by 2030. AI agents can now work on the same task continuously, for hours on end. By 2030, they will be able to handle tasks that span months.
In China alone, the average number of inference tokens consumed every day has surged to around 500 trillion, and is expected to reach quintillions (1018) by 2030.
On-device AI is also advancing rapidly. On-device models for smartphones have expanded from three billion parameters in 2024 to 30 billion today, and will push toward hundreds of billions in the near future.
These trends will set a much higher bar for the scale, performance, and reliability of underlying technical systems. Only by building powerful AI infrastructure can the industry lay a solid foundation for the future intelligent world.
An intelligent world is approaching – and faster than ever. To lead the charge into this new world, Huawei is laser-focused on building out AI infrastructure – the silicon foundation for the future to come.
In particular, Huawei’s AI strategy is centered on computing power, with a focus on monetizing hardware. The company is also sharpening its competitive edge through systems and architectural innovation. Centering these efforts on SuperPoDs and SuperClusters, the company aims to build a solid computing foundation and offer a new option for the world.
Huawei is a major contributor to open computing ecosystems, and will continue to support native training for mainstream foundation models on its systems, as well as supporting a vast range of models and applications.
For customers, Huawei provides flexible on-premises and cloud compute solutions for its customers to accelerate intelligent transformation across industries.
With diverse forms of compute, including solutions for micro-, low-tier, mid-range, and massive computing power – Huawei is driving the expansion of on-device and in-vehicle AI, making intelligence truly ubiquitous.
Additionally, Huawei is dedicated to building next-generation communications networks to bring readily available compute and intelligence to every person, home, and organization.
SuperPoDs gain broad consensus, with adoption growing in industries, academia, and research institutes
To date, over 1,000 Atlas 900 A3 SuperPoDs have been deployed, and Atlas 950 SuperPoD is seeing large-scale commercial use. While adoption continues to grow, SuperPoDs have gained broad acceptance across industry, academia, and research institutions as a key direction for AI infrastructure. Currently, a SuperPoD is explicitly defined as a computing system in which multiple computing nodes are tightly coupled through high-speed interconnect protocols, featuring unified memory addressing across physical nodes — functioning like a single logical computer.
SuperPoDs are the go-to choice for AI infrastructure buildout. Right now, 100k-NPU computing clusters have become the baseline for training SOTA models. However, traditional server architectures result in intra-cluster communications that account for over 40% of total training time, severely constraining Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU). Simulation results from Huawei’s Markov Lab show that a 100k-NPU cluster built with 4k-NPU SuperPoDs can deliver a 2.75x increase in MFU compared to a 100k-NPU cluster composed of 8-NPU servers.
11-chip UnifiedBus-powered portfolio for SuperPoDs and SuperClusters; the Atlas 960E SuperPoD –the industry’s first to use NPO
The Ascend series of chips is the most critical component in Huawei’s 11-chip UnifiedBus-powered portfolio for SuperPoDs and SuperClusters. Development on Ascend 960 has exceeded the company’s expectations, with performance doubling as planned. Ascend 960DT will be available in Q1 2027, three quarters ahead of the company’s original roadmap. And the Ascend 960PR will be ready in Q3 2027, one quarter ahead of schedule.
“We’re evolving our Ascend chip series on a one-generation-a-year cycle,” said Wang in his keynote. “In 2028 and 2029, we will roll out the Ascend 970 and 980 chips, respectively. Thanks to the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, not only will their compute specifications continue to double, but you can also expect to see huge improvements across the board in terms of memory bandwidth, memory capacity, interconnect bandwidth, and more.”
In addition to Ascend chips, Huawei has also developed a complete portfolio of chips for AI infrastructure, based on UnifiedBus, delivering key capabilities that cover computing, interconnect, storage, and management.
“SuperPoDs are designed to coordinate multiple NPUs through interconnect,” continued Wang. “We have developed a next-generation optical interconnect product based on near-packaged optics (NPO): the High-density Optical-interconnect-Node Engine (Hi-ONE).” Built on Huawei’s proprietary technologies, Hi-ONE has a multi-physics design for balancing optical, mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, and thermal performance, realizing a transmission capacity of 7.2 Tbit/s per single engine.
“This is the industry’s first NPO product ready for mass production, delivering the largest transmission capacity. It is also the industry’s first NPO product with a built-in light source.”
This product combines high bandwidth and high reliability with low latency and low power consumption. This, coupled with UnifiedBus, will make it far easier to scale up SuperPoD interconnect systems.
Recently, Huawei submitted an implementation agreement (IA) on NPO to the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF), a standards organization. The response from numerous industry partners has been widely positive. Huawei will continue its efforts to further refine the NPO industry ecosystem.
Using Ascend 960 chips and Hi-ONE, Huawei has developed the industry’s first NPO-based SuperPoDs: the Atlas 960E SuperPoDs. A single Atlas 960E SuperPoD can scale up to 4,096 NPUs, delivering 8 EFLOPS of FP8 compute performance, with up to 1 petabyte of HBM capacity. With 5,500 Hi-ONE units, this SuperPoD doesn’t need the 48,000 800G optical modules that would traditionally be required to connect all the NPUs. This cuts power consumption by over 550 kilowatts, while doubling the system’s fault-free operating time, achieving 99.8% system availability.
Combining the upgraded TaiShan 950 SuperPoD and context memory storage to power an ultrascale cluster with 1 million NPUs
As SOTA models scale to 10 trillion parameters, training and inference can no longer rely on a single AI server or AI SuperPoD – they require a more complex computing system. This system includes AI SuperPoDs, general-purpose SuperPoDs, and an interconnect system that features peer-to-peer interconnect and zero protocol conversion. For inference, including a petabyte-scale KV cache cluster is also a must.
To meet these demands, Huawei has fully upgraded its TaiShan 950 SuperPoD. Powered by UnifiedBus all-optical networking, this new SuperPoD supports up to 4,096 nodes with a unified memory pool of up to 256 TB. This setup significantly improves agent performance. For sandbox-intensive workloads, startup speeds for 100,000 sandboxes are 30 times faster than traditional servers, and sandbox density can be improved by an additional 25%. For vector search across 10 billion x 1,000-dimensional vectors, this SuperPoD delivers twice the search efficiency of traditional servers.
Huawei has also launched OceanStor M900 – a UnifiedBus-powered context memory storage cluster that delivers multi-tier KV caching for agent-heavy and longer-context workloads. Designed for agentic inference, this cluster supports one-hop direct access and provides a petabyte-scale KV cache for the L3.5 layer. OceanStor M900 also uses hybrid media and an optimized retention algorithm, extending SSD read/write lifespan by 16-fold. This ensures a higher KV cache hit rate alongside long-term stability and reliability from the ground up.
Combining its strengths in computing and communications, Huawei has built a brand-new agentic SuperCluster to accelerate training and inference for 10-trillion-parameter models. This SuperCluster uses UnifiedBus to consolidate multiple interconnect protocols into a single unified protocol, significantly reducing protocol conversion overhead. This delivers peer-to-peer interconnect between subsystems like Ascend SuperPoDs, Kunpeng SuperPoDs, and KV cache clusters. The SuperCluster also comes with a multi-tier, high-bandwidth, and large-capacity storage system that enables direct single-hop access for all KV cache tiers.
With a two-tier, four-plane Clos architecture, the SuperCluster can interconnect up to 512,000 NPUs. When combined with a multi-rail topology, this cluster can support up to one million NPUs.
One of Huawei’s core strategies: Going open source and open system to build out computing ecosystems
The Kunpeng ecosystem is driving digital and intelligent innovation across a wide range of industries. To date, the Kunpeng ecosystem has attracted over 4.16 million developers and more than 7,200 ecosystem partners from around the globe. The community currently supports over 560 open-source projects worldwide. openEuler has seen more than 20 million installations, securing the largest share in China’s server OS market.
The Ascend ecosystem has reached a new inflection point. The Compute Architecture for Neural Networks (CANN) is the foundation of the Ascend ecosystem. Today, CANN has moved to sustained, community-driven open-source development, which has brought the platform from usable to user-friendly.
External CANN developers now comprise 61% of all CANN developers, outnumbering internal developers for the first time. With over 5,200 monthly active developers, the CANN community has become the most vibrant open-source community in China. What’s more, over 40 models have been natively pre-trained on Ascend and CANN, making it the only proven domestic stack capable of model pre-training.
Ascend now supports over 90 leading third-party open-source projects, including PyTorch, Triton, vLLM, and veRL. With strong support from the Linux Foundation, Ascend is the first official Chinese compute platform on PyTorch’s website. This gives developers around the world ready access to new innovations in the Ascend ecosystem.
Diverse forms of compute for ubiquitous on-device and in-vehicle AI
AI is expanding faster into all kinds of devices. To deliver an unparalleled AI experience across all scenarios, Huawei will continue to strengthen capabilities in four key areas:
First, Huawei will combine Kirin and Ascend chips to drive self-reliance and autonomy in on-device compute.
Second, Huawei will bring together Pangu models and third-party models to make on-device intelligence better and easier to use.
Third, HarmonyOS, as an Agent OS for ubiquitous intelligence, will be completely redefined from the ground up – spanning system architecture, how it operates, and interaction logic – to enable human-agent collaboration.
Fourth, Huawei will keep cultivating a diverse AI ecosystem, which is the foundation for its system agent Celia to thrive.
Huawei plans to build four on-device computing platforms: for AI phones, AI PCs, vehicles, and homes. Through cross-device and device-cloud compute synergy, Huawei will be able to provide distributed swarm intelligence, delivering integrated and continuous intelligent services across personal mobile, office, vehicle, and home spaces, ultimately bringing intelligence to every person and every space.
Building next-generation communications that prioritize readily available compute, because without networks, all compute is siloed
Next-generation communications networks are crucial for fully unleashing the value of AI compute. We are driving the upgrade to networks that, in addition to connecting people, will prioritize delivering readily available compute. These networks will be underpinned by 5G-A/6G, 10-gigabit optical networks, and multi-tier, low-latency bearer networks, delivering intelligent connectivity across data centers, the edge, and devices.
Concluding his keynote, Wang expressed that AI “may well be the final technological revolution in human history,” noting that its impact is deeper and broader, and coming faster than anyone could have ever imagined. “No single company,” he said, “can build an intelligent world alone.”
He stressed Huawei’s ongoing commitments moving forward:
Huawei will remain committed to building a solid silicon foundation to make computing power readily accessible to all.
The company will continue to open source its software, helping developers unleash their full potential.
It will continue to embrace a wide range of models and applications, unlocking value in every form.
“And we will continue to work together to drive shared success, growing together with our customers and partners around the world,” Wang concluded. “Let’s work together to build a fully connected, intelligent world.”
Themed Advancing the Agentic World, HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 will delve into AI across three dimensions: strategy, technology, and ecosystems. You can expect an in-depth look at our latest strategic initiatives, and we’ll also be unveiling our all-new digital and intelligent infrastructure products, scenario-specific solutions for industries, and development tools. The event will run from September 17 to 19 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center and Shanghai Expo Center.

With the addition of Newmark Collection, Banyan Group’s portfolio will comprise nearly 130 hotels, resorts and reserves, more than 30 branded residences, and over 140 spas and galleries across 14 hospitality and residential brands in 28 countries.
The partnership brings together Newmark’s regional expertise and established hospitality management platform across urban, nature-based and wildlife hospitality with Banyan Group’s international distribution, development and commercial capabilities, supporting Newmark’s continued growth across Africa and greater international reach.
“We welcome Newmark to Banyan Group with confidence in the strength of the business it has built in Africa and the entrepreneurial spirit that has shaped it,” said Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Group. “We see in Newmark many of the qualities that shaped Banyan Group from the beginning: independence of thought, a long-term view and the conviction to build something distinctive. We look forward to what we can build together across Africa.”
“Over nearly two decades, Newmark has built its business through strong teams, trusted owner and partner relationships and a portfolio where each property retains its own identity,” said Neil Markovitz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Newmark Hotels & Reserves. “Joining Banyan Group gives us greater international reach and access to a wider network of expertise while retaining what has made Newmark successful. It also gives us greater scope to introduce travellers around the world to the destinations and experiences across our portfolio.”
From Cape Town to Africa’s Wild Heart
Newmark was founded in 2007 by Neil Markovitz, whose career in Cape Town hospitality dates to 1990 and includes serving as General Manager of the Victoria & Alfred Hotel. Housed in a converted 1904 warehouse overlooking Cape Town’s harbour and Table Mountain, the hotel was the first to open at the V&A Waterfront and later became one of the first properties in Newmark’s portfolio.
Today, Newmark’s collection stretches from Cape Town, beneath iconic Table Mountain, and Victoria Falls, two of the world’s most celebrated natural wonders, to some of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes and destinations. Its curated portfolio spans heritage and city hotels, nature and country lodges, island retreats and private game reserves, offering a diverse mix of urban, nature-based, wellbeing and wildlife experiences.
In South Africa’s Waterberg, QWABI Private Game Reserve spans 11,000 hectares within a UNESCO-designated biosphere, combining a Big Five safari experience with the regeneration of land previously used for agriculture. In the Greater Kruger ecosystem, Motswari Private Game Reserve celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026, shaped by a long history of conservation. Motswari has been part of the Newmark portfolio since 2013. Further north, Gorilla Heights Lodge sits on the edge of Uganda’s UNESCO-listed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to endangered mountain gorillas.
Future Found Sanctuary, set on the slopes of Table Mountain, brings a regenerative wellness dimension through experiences rooted in nature and restoration, while Newmark’s presence in Zanzibar and Mauritius adds Indian Ocean island experiences to the portfolio.
From One Vision to a Wider World of Discovery
From its first flagship Banyan Tree resort in Phuket, developed following the rehabilitation of a former tin-mining site and recognised for pioneering naturally luxurious and ecologically sensitive hospitality, Banyan Group has expanded over more than three decades into a global, multi-brand hospitality business. Its pioneering spirit, design-led experiences and commitment to responsible stewardship continue to shape its growth. In 2025, the Group marked its 100th resort globally with the opening of Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, a symbolic homecoming to Singapore.
Africa has been a growing part of that expansion. Banyan Group’s existing footprint in the region comprises four hotels and four spas across Morocco, Mauritius, South Africa and Tanzania, including Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay, Marrakech Riads, Angsana Heritage Collection and Ubuyu, a Banyan Tree Escape, its first safari lodge. The Group is also set to enter West Africa with the upcoming Dhawa Ouidah in Benin. Newmark broadens Banyan Group’s regional network, extending its presence into Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe, while adding specialist expertise in wildlife and nature-based hospitality.
The partnership comes amid strong travel demand across Africa. The continent welcomed 81 million international tourist arrivals in 2025, up 8% year on year, the strongest growth among global regions, according to UN Tourism. WTTC expects the region’s Travel & Tourism economy to grow a further 5.4% in 2026, placing Africa among the world’s fastest-growing tourism regions.
Eddy See, President and Chief Executive Officer of Banyan Group, said: “Africa is a long-term growth market for Banyan Group. Newmark brings an established management business, long-standing owner relationships and strong operating capabilities that deepen our presence in the region and strengthen our asset-right model. Its local market knowledge and development pipeline, combined with Banyan Group’s international sales, distribution and development network, give us a stronger platform to pursue the right opportunities across Africa.”
Continuity and the Next Stage of Growth
Newmark will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership, led by Neil Markovitz and the current management team. Day-to-day operations, property branding, owner relationships and existing commercial arrangements will remain unchanged, with Newmark’s local teams continuing to lead relationships with owners, guests, partners and communities.
“Newmark’s hotels, lodges and reserves are closely connected to the places in which they operate,” said Ho Ren Yung, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Banyan Group. “We want to preserve that local approach, particularly in nature-based and wildlife hospitality, where culture, communities and the natural environment are integral to the guest experience. As we grow together, we want each property to retain the character and sense of place that have shaped its success.”
Newmark will retain its own brand presence and direct channels, including the Newmark website. Guests can continue to book through existing channels, with all confirmed reservations honoured under their existing terms.
Over time, Newmark properties will also become available through Banyan Group’s booking platforms and participate in withBanyan, its guest recognition programme, giving members access to rates and benefits at participating properties while extending Newmark’s reach to Banyan Group’s global audience.
As integration progresses, guests will have a more connected way to discover, book and be recognised across both portfolios, united by a shared commitment to sustainability, conservation and meaningful travel.

ALCOR Scientific’s iSED® analyzers reshape lab logistics and improve patient care for one of medicine’s most widely used tests
Seven times longer stability, independently validated. ESR samples on ALCOR Scientific’s iSED analyzer remained accurate for up to 28 hours at room temperature and 48 hours refrigerated, outperforming the four-hour limit of traditional Westergren testing.
A breakthrough for modern lab logistics. The extended sample stability delivers workflow and cost savings for clinical labs navigating scattered blood collection sites, longer courier routes and staffing shortages.
Improved patient care. With more than a full day of room-temperature stability, delayed and after-hours samples can be tested with confidence, reducing rejections and blood redraws while improving results and the patient experience.
SMITHFIELD, R.I., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For a hundred years, one number has quietly governed erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), a test doctors rely on to diagnose and monitor infections, autoimmune conditions and other diseases: four. As in four hours, the narrow window in which a traditional ESR sample had to be tested or refrigerated before its result could no longer be trusted. A new peer-reviewed study published in Diagnostics says that deadline belongs to the past.
The study found that ESR samples measured by photometric rheology on ALCOR Scientific’s iSED® analyzers remained accurate for up to 28 hours at room temperature and 48 hours refrigerated, seven times longer than the traditional Westergren method’s four-hour room-temperature limit.
The impact is significant. One of the most widely used tests in medicine is no longer bound by a four-hour deadline. As clinical labs contend with scattered blood collection sites, longer courier routes and staffing shortages, the extended sample stability delivers immediate benefits to labs and the patients they serve.
The full study “Measuring Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Using Photometric Rheology Technology Demonstrates Superior Sample Stability as Compared to the Westergren Method,” is available at https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4418/16/16/2648.
The problem hiding in the back of a courier van
ESR is one of the oldest tests in medicine, and one of the most widely ordered, with millions performed every year. It’s a fast and affordable marker of inflammation that helps detect and monitor a range of conditions, from infections and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis to inflammatory conditions like giant cell arteritis, as well as certain cancers. Unlike tests that measure a specific molecule, ESR measures a behavior: how quickly red blood cells aggregate and settle in a tube, which makes it acutely vulnerable to time and temperature.
That vulnerability collides head-on with how modern labs operate. At the same time, labs are consolidating into centralized, high-volume centers, they’re navigating growing blood collection sites and staffing shortages. Between the needle and the analyzer sits a courier network that batches specimens onto multi-stop routes, often carrying them for hours in vehicles with no meaningful temperature control. Meeting a strict four-hour clock across that chain is often impossible. Worse, the failure is invisible because a degraded sample doesn’t arrive flagged. It arrives looking perfectly normal, and its result gets reported and acted on like any other.
Beyond gravity: a new way to measure inflammation
The iSED analyzer takes a fundamentally different approach to ESR testing. Using photometric rheology technology, it optically captures red blood cell aggregation, the earliest and most critical step of erythrocyte sedimentation, inside a temperature-controlled flow cell, generating a result in less than 20 seconds. Because it reads the very beginning of the aggregation process in a controlled environment, the iSED analyzer is largely insulated from the time-sensitive changes that undermine traditional readings, extending sample stability seven times longer than traditional testing.
From four hours to 28: a breakthrough for labs
Extending sample stability from four hours to 28 in ESR is a breakthrough for laboratory logistics, offering labs and the patients they serve immediate, tangible benefits, including:
Reliable results: greater confidence in every result, especially when samples travel long distances or are delayed.
Fewer rejected samples: specimens delayed in transit or received during minimal-staffing hours can still be tested with confidence.
Fewer needle sticks for patients: sparing patients the burden of repeat phlebotomy for a common blood test.
One tube, two tests: with longer stability, the same EDTA tube can realistically serve both ESR and CBC testing, and add-on ESR requests become feasible.
Workflow and cost savings: a meaningful advantage as clinical laboratories navigate deepening workforce shortages.
“For decades, labs have been forced to build their entire ESR workflow around limited sample stability. Extending room temperature stability by an additional 24 hours is a game changer, not only improving logistics but truly improving patient care by ensuring reliable results. Giving labs a full day of reliable stability isn’t a convenience. It’s better medicine,” said Jim Post, CEO, Alcor Scientific.

The research was conducted under Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval at two hospital sites and funded by ALCOR Scientific.
