What is the PCV Cell Counting Kit and How does it work?
PCV Cell Counting Kits contain a cell counting tube that holds up to 1ml of cell suspension that can be centrifuged forcing the cells into a graduated 5l capillary at the bottom of the tube. The volume occupied by the cell pellet after centrifugation is called the Packed Cell Volume (PCV). The Packed Cell Volume (PCV) can then be converted to a useful value such as PCV% or and actual cell number.
