How do you use centrifuge to separate plasm in blood?

To separate plasma from blood using a centrifuge, the blood sample is first collected in a tube. The tube is then placed in the centrifuge and spun at high speeds, causing the blood components to separate based on their density. Plasma, being the lightest component, will rise to the top of the tube, allowing it to be easily pipetted off and collected for further analysis.

How do you use gravity disc in centrifuge?

To use a gravity disc in a centrifuge, place the disc at the bottom of the centrifuge tube before adding your sample.
