The hematocrit is calculated by centrifuging whole blood to measure the volume of the formed elements. Many other lab tests require the blood to be centrifuged first, but the hematocrit is the test that can be done solely through centrifuging and measuring.

What do people have more of red blood cells white blood cells or platelets?

If you spin a blood sample in a centrifuge, formed elements sink to the bottom of a test tube because they are denser than plasma. RBCs, representing the bulk of the formed elements, settle to the bottom. WBCs and platelets appear just above RBCs in a thin, grayish layer. So your answer is red blood cells.

Many medical tests require the blood to be centrifuged prior to analysis. However, the hematocrit is completed after only the centrifuging process. The hematocrit measures the volume of the formed elements of the blood as a percentage of whole blood volume.
