A pocket linear slide calculator for determining the erythrocyte and plasma‐ACD content, the weight of plasma‐ACD to remove for packed red cells and the weight of erythrocytes to remove for leukocyte‐poor red cells, and the absolute cell contents (leukocyte and platelet) for a blood component is described. The calculator's convenience and accuracy are enhanced by using the observed net weight and hematocrit of the individual component rather than estimated average values.
