A method for controlling the concentration of an anticoagulant composition added to a donor's plasma during a fixed volume apheresis extraction process involves utilizing a donor's hematocrit (HCT) measurement to determine a ratio of the anticoagulant composition to the donor's uncoagulated blood during the apheresis extraction process. The ratio of the anticoagulant composition to the donor's uncoagulated blood during the apheresis extraction process is additionally determined as a function of the total collection volume and/or the desired volume of the anticoagulant composition.
