When I run my bood through the hematocrit tester there is a 1/2 inch fade between my plasma and red blood cells. I did it for a full 15 min. Is this normal if so how do I read a faded line?

Do you know what rpms your centrifuge is running at?
From what I've read, anything less than 10,000 rpms will not adequately pack the blood.
I have access to a Zipocrit and there are no fade (as you described) after a five minute spin.
Wheelies

By 'fade' are you talking about the angle of the packed cells?
I've spun about 10 times and there's always been a well defined separation. Maybe 55X12 will chime in (I know he has a zip).
