plasma contains coagulating agents whereas serum doesn't contain
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.
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.
Serum is a fluid similar to plasma but lacks plasma proteins like fibrinogen. Serum is obtained by allowing blood to clot, which results in the removal of fibrinogen and other clotting factors that are present in plasma.
Serum is preferred over plasma for serological tests because it does not contain anticoagulants. This prevents interference with certain antibodies and ensures accurate test results. Serum is also easier to handle and process compared to plasma.
PLASMA is the clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended. It differs from serum in that it contains fibrin and other soluble clotting elements and (SERUM) is the clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. Also called blood serum.Serum and plasma differs in one protein fibrin which is present in plasma and not in serum as it is used when we keep blood to clot during preparation of serum.All other protein content is same.
Plasma has clotting factors in it and serum does not.
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!
Thixotropic gel in an evacuated tube is used to separate serum or plasma from blood cells during centrifugation. This gel helps maintain the separation by forming a barrier between the serum/plasma and the blood cells, preventing contamination and allowing for accurate testing.

An anion gap is a difference between the levels of cations and anions in serum, plasma or urine.
plasma get hotter then LCD or led and plasma has some gasses in it
