Blood glucose tests require either whole blood, serum, or plasma collected by vein puncture or finger puncture. No special preparation is required for a casual blood glucose test.
Plasma
Fibrinogen is found in plasma but not in serum. Plasma has this clotting protein, but when blood clots, fibrinogen is used up, leaving serum without it. That’s the main difference between the two!
Plasma minus clotting proteins is called serum. Serum is the liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted and the clotting factors have been removed. Serum is used in various medical tests to measure different components in the blood.
