When comparing spun microhematocrit results with hematocrit results obtained on an electronic cell counter, the spun hematocrit results may vary from 1 to 3 % because of this trapped plasma (unless the cell counter has been calibrated against spun microhematocrit uncorrected for trapped plasma).
Trapped plasma is the quantity of intracellular plasma last in the packed cell column of the microhematocrit after centrifugation.
It artificially increases the packed cellular column constituting an effective bias to the hematocrit. the quantity of trapped plasma varies as a function of cell packing.
Inadequate centrifugation, poor blending, and inappropriate anticoagulant awareness also can make a contribution to technical errors. In spun hematocrits, a number of problems that have atypical red cells can also purpose plasma to be trapped inside the erythrocytes.
