At hematocrit inspection one of the&nbsp; important things in the pre-analytical stage is the homogenization of samples. The delay in&nbsp; the examination that occurs causes the blood to settle therefore it is necessary to do&nbsp; secondary homogenization before the blood is examined using the tool. This study aims to see&nbsp; a difference in the results of hematocrit levels in samples that are not homogenized secondary&nbsp; and homogenized secondary 8 times. Method: This type of research is a pre-experiment using&nbsp; Static Group Comparation. The subject of this study was students of the Faculty of Health&nbsp; Sciences of Musi Charitas Catholic University who were selected in acidental sampling. The&nbsp; hematocrit level check in the sample uses the Sysmex XP-100 tool by using the Apature&nbsp; Impedance Counters method. . Samples were treated without secondary homogenization and homogenized 8 times. The sample measurement data was then tested using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test with a 95% confidence level.Result: The sample examined as many as 30 samples had an average hematocrit level test result in samples given unhomogenized treatment was&nbsp; 65% and the average result of secondary homogenized sample examination was 8 times&nbsp; 39.9%. The results were statistically tested and showed a meaningful difference of&nbsp; p=0.000&lt;0.05.Conclusion: There were differences in the results of hematocrit levels of&nbsp; samples that were not homogenized secondary and homogenized secondary 8 times.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Oceana Biomedicina Journal}, author={Hutabarat, Mustika}, year={2023}, month={Feb.} }
