What test measurs percentage by volume of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample?
Hematocrit test measures the percentage by volume of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample. It is used to evaluate the concentration of red blood cells in the blood and can help diagnose conditions such as anemia or dehydration.

How packed red cells preparation?
Packed red cells are prepared by removing most of the plasma from whole blood through a process called centrifugation. This centrifugation process separates the red blood cells from the plasma and other cellular components, resulting in a concentrated suspension of red blood cells. The packed red cells are then typically suspended in a small amount of saline solution before being transfused to a patient.

How do you read a microhematocrit tube?
Microhematocrit tubes are read according to PCV (Packed Cell Volume). After centrifuging the tube, you will need a PCV card reader to determine the amount of packed red blood cells within the sample of blood. The PCV is determined by aligning the top of the clay plug (just as it reaches the layer of red blood cells) on the zero line and then gently "rolling" the tube up the chart until the intersecting middle line is aligned where the packed red cells and Buffy coat meet. Read across the chart and you should have a percentage of red blood cells to record as a PCV.
