Hi, I haven't worked in a lab for 15 years but CBC were never centrifuged. The test is performed on whole blood with an anti clotting agent. They are placed on a rack and moved around to ensure the blood is mixed well and the platelets don't clump.
It was mostly biochemical tests that were centrifuged and those tests performed on plasma or serum.
I can't imagine these techniques have changed much but I could be wrong.
Regards
Chirley
