The following specific gravities were identified and used in the
calculations provided above:
Specific gravity of plasma: 1.03 g/mL
Specific gravity of packed red cells: 1.08 g/mL
Specific gravity of anticoagulated whole blood: 1.05 g/mL
Specific gravity of AS-1 red blood cells: 1.06 g/mL

Note: Any anticoagulant present in the kit or containers will be
calculated as blood component loss. The volume of
anticoagulant in any of the containers is negligible, thus negating
the need to subtract this volume from the calculations provided
above.
