What else can I help you with?
When serum isn't separated it's called?
Blood plasma is serum that hasn't had the clotting factors separated. Like serum, it contains no blood cells.
Which color tube do you use for serum creatinine?
For serum creatinine, the recommended tube to use is a red-top tube without any anticoagulant. This allows for the blood to clot and the serum to be separated.
What is dried human plasma and human serum?
Dried human plasma and human serum is prepared by freeze-drying or by other methods that will avoid denaturation of the proteins. This will yield a product readily soluble in a quantity of water equal to the volume of liquid plasma and human serum.
What is whey?
Whey: the serum or watery part of milk that is separated from the curd in making cheese.
What do activators do?
They help the blood sample in the tube clot so that serum can be separated for analysis. Serum is the preferred specimen for many tests such as hormones, proteins and electrolytes.
What do clot activators do?
They help the blood sample in the tube clot so that serum can be separated for analysis. Serum is the preferred specimen for many tests such as hormones, proteins and electrolytes.
What is plasma that lacks a clotting factor?
Serum, it lacks all of the elements needed for clotting. They have been separated out.
Does a red top tube have serum or plasma in it?
A red top tube typically contains serum after the blood has been separated by centrifugation. Plasma is obtained from blood collected in tubes with anticoagulants.
What color tube do you collect for Titers?
For titers, blood can be collected in a red-top tube (serum separator tube) or a gold-top tube (serum separator tube with gel). The serum is then separated from the blood cells by centrifugation and used for the titer test.
What is that stuff in the bottom of a vial when blood work is drawn?
You are probably seeing the serum separator gel. After the blood in the tube clots, they spin it to separate the clot from the remaining fluid (serum). The gel will move in between the clot and the serum so they stay separated.
Why is destaining done after staining in agarose gel serum electrophoresis?
Destaining is done after staining in agarose gel serum electrophoresis to remove excess stain from the gel, which can interfere with visualization of the bands. Destaining helps to improve the contrast and clarity of the bands so that they can be accurately analyzed and quantified.
Why is blood group identification not required while transfusing serum?
The serum is a cell free fluid which forms when the blood has clotted and the thombus has separated from it.Since the blood group deciding antigens are present on the RBC's which are not present on the serum .Hence,it can be transcribed to anyone without the need of blood testing.
