Plasma and blood cells are different components of blood. When cells are removed form blood the remaining fluid is plasma.

When clotting factors present in the plasma interact with blood cells, a clot forms. Clotted blood do not have plasma. The fluid remains after the blood clots is called serum.

What does SST tube contain plasma or serum?

SST tube contains serum. Serum is the liquid component of blood that remains after blood has clotted, while plasma is the liquid component of blood that contains clotting factors and is obtained from blood collected in tubes containing anticoagulant.


If there is a problem with clotting what plasma protein may be involved?

If there is a problem with clotting, the plasma protein that may be involved is fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a key component of the coagulation cascade, converting to fibrin to form a stable clot. Deficiencies or abnormalities in fibrinogen can lead to bleeding disorders. Other clotting factors, such as prothrombin or factor VIII, may also be implicated in clotting issues.

Do serumm have fibrinogen?

No, serums do not contain fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a protein found in blood plasma that plays a key role in blood clotting. Serum is the liquid component of blood that remains after clotting has occurred, and it does not contain fibrinogen or other clotting factors.


What is plasma used for?

There are two types of Plasma.Matter Plasma is a form of ionized matter stripped of electrons. This is what is found in the core of the sun.A plasma cutter is used in welding, and superheats gasses to create plasma. See the article on "How Stuff Works".http://home.howstuffworks.com/plasma-cutter.htmHowever, another term for Plasma is the liquid component in the blood. It includes minerals, proteins, and clotting factors.Perhaps the most useful part would be the clotting factors which can be useful for surgery or certain types of traumatic injury, or for the treatment of hemophilia, a disease that is characterized by a deficiency of clotting factors causing excess bleeding.


What protein is present in plasma but not in serum?

Fibrinogen is a protein present in plasma but not in serum. Serum is plasma without the clotting factors like fibrinogen, which is used up during the clotting process.


Blood plasma minus fibrinogen is?

Blood plasma minus fibrinogen is known as serum. Serum is the liquid component of blood that remains after blood clotting (coagulation) has occurred and the fibrinogen, which is essential for clotting, has been removed. Serum contains electrolytes, antibodies, hormones, and any exogenous substances.
