T: Total; F: Female; M: Male; Hct: Hematocrit; S: Source; AC: Anticoagulation; EDTA: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; NS: Not Specified; CaCl: calcium chloride; Fib: Fibrinogen; BT: Bovine Thrombin; EF: Enrichment Factor

Observation: centrifugation values by Hokugo et al were reported in centrifuge rotor speed (rpm). Not enough data was available to make the conversion to times gravidity (g).
