Blood and urine are spun on centrifuges.
Red blood cells, serum, plasma

A specimen that had clotted and has been spun down yields serum, which is the liquid component of blood after clotting factors have been removed. This serum can be used for various diagnostic tests to assess the levels of different analytes in the blood. It is important to ensure that the serum is clear and free of any clots or particles before analysis.
Typically, blood collection tubes with anticoagulants such as EDTA, heparin, or citrate are spun in the centrifuge to separate the blood components. The specific type of tube used depends on the tests being performed and the desired blood components needed for analysis.
Yes, CBC (complete blood count) samples need to be spun down to separate the blood components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets from the plasma for analysis. Spinning down the sample helps ensure accurate results by allowing the different components to be properly identified and counted.
Usually 40-50% of the blood volume i.e. 8-10ml.
After blood is clotted and spun in a centrifuge, it separates into three main components: red blood cells at the bottom, a thin middle layer of white blood cells and platelets called the buffy coat, and plasma at the top. These components can then be analyzed separately to assess various aspects of a person's health.
Spun microhematocrit tubes are used to measure hematocrit levels, which represents the proportion of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. This test is helpful in diagnosing conditions such as anemia or dehydration, as well as monitoring an individual's response to treatment.
Knitting is accomplished usually with pairs of needles -- knitting needles, to be exact -- and some form of spun fiber spun into a long, long length -- usually several hundred metres long, and even longer.
