yes. Blood separates into, from top to bottom, plasma, white blood cells/ platelets, and red blood cells.
Plasma, buffy coat, and red blood cells are the three layers of centrifuged blood. Plasma is the top layer consisting of water, electrolytes, and proteins. The buffy coat is the thin middle layer containing white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells form the bottom layer.
Mononuclear cells
For venous blood specimens, if it is test tubes used in blood collection that you are referring to, the gel is a serum separator. When the sample is centrifuged, the red cells will spin to the bottom, plasma to the top, gel separating the blood components.
Your question is unclear - the liquid which carries red and white blood cells and platelets is blood. These cells are the solid component of blood, which separates from the liquid part (plasma) when centrifuged.

When blood is centrifuged, it separates into different components based on their density. The heavier components, like red blood cells, move to the bottom, while the lighter components, like plasma, rise to the top. This process allows for the isolation and analysis of specific blood components.
Blood serum can be obtained by collecting a blood sample from a vein and allowing it to clot. The sample is then centrifuged to separate the serum from the rest of the blood components. Serum is the liquid component of blood obtained after clotting, which does not contain cells or clotting factors.
The red blood cells collect waste products (CO2) from the cell.
White blood cells are typically found in the buffy coat layer of the hematocrit tube after centrifugation. This layer is located between the plasma and red blood cells and contains a mixture of white blood cells and platelets.
The Buffy coat layer primarily consists of platelets and white blood cells. This layer forms between the plasma and red blood cell layers during centrifugation of anticoagulated blood.
Clotted blood is normally obtained from a specimen of venous blood which has been allowed to clot by standing for 30 minutes. The resulting specimen is usually centrifuged to separate the clotted red blood cells from the serum.
