The sample should be centrifuged, after closing one end of the tube, at speed of a least 30 000 rev/minute and for not less than five minutes.
Note: This reading should preferably be taken at once, but in any case not later than 24 hours after the blood sample is taken. If possible a microhaematocrit centrifuge should be used.
