Centrifuging blood rotates it at a very fast speed. when you centrifuge it, it separates the particles from the bloodd. also, it can/will be separated by density. centrifuging can also separate the WBC'S, RBC'S, and the Plasma from each otehr.
Apparatus that rotates containers at high speeds, creating centrifugal forces. One use is for separating mixtures of substances of different densities.
A laboratory centrifuge is used to separate small amounts of suspension. Test tubes of suspension are spun around very fast so that the solid gets flung to the bottom. The mixtures are usually spun horizontally in balanced containers ('buckets'), and the rotation sets up centrifugal forces, causing their components to separate according to their densities. A common example is the separation of the lighter plasma from the heavier blood corpuscles in certain blood tests. The ultracentrifuge is a very high-speed centrifuge, used in biochemistry for separating colloids and organic substances; it may operate at several million revolutions per minute. The centrifuges used in the industrial separation of cream from milk, and yeast from fermented wort (infused malt), operate by having mixtures pumped through a continually rotating chamber, the components being tapped off at different points. Large centrifuges are used for physiological research - for example, in astronaut training where bodily responses to gravitational forces many times the normal level are tested.

practically, separating plasma in the blood is through the use of a centrifuge. it is a fast rotating instrument that causes the settling down of heavier blood subconstituents at the bottom part of the blood sample.
That sounds like density centrifugation...So, a centrifuge?
White blood cells have a distinct forward and side scatter pattern. You can see this by doing flow cytometry on a blood sample. The white blood cells can then be separated by using a FACSorter.
Through a method called filtration.
The gel seperates the serum from the red blood cells
No you do not centrifuge blood for a CBC. This could cause issues when reading the results.
Using centrifuge: brill idea
During the centrifuge based on their size/ molecular weight it will be separated.

Centrifuge.
By using a centrifuge
You spin it in a centrifuge.
You use a centrifuge. This is a machine which spins the sample of blood round. This causes the different substances to separate. Hence, the plasma will separate from the blood cells (which are heavier).
It can separate blood, among other things.
Spinning it in a centrifuge will separate the blood cells from the plasma.
To centrifuge a red tube you will have to run the blood through and then put it back into the body. The red tube is used to collect plasma.
