pärast vere tsentrifuugimist mõõdetud rakkude (peamiselt erütrotsüütide) protsent vere üldmahus
vere vormelementide ja plasma suhe. Hematokrit iseloomustab vereliblede hulka, võimaldab otsustada vere kontsentratsiooni üle ja avastada hüdreemiat.
The volume percentage of erythrocytes in whole blood. The packed cell volume is determined by centrifuging a blood sample to separate the cellular elements from the plasma.
Red blood cells (RBC) taken and pooled from a minimum of three specific pathogen free chickens (if not available blood may be taken from birds regularly monitored and shown to be free of NDV antibodies) into an equal volume of Alsever's solution. Cells should be washed three times in PBS before use. For the test 1% suspension (packed cell v/v) in PBS is recommended.
