The top liquid layer in a purple-top tube after centrifugation is called plasma. Plasma is the liquid component of blood that contains water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, and waste products.
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.
This is called blood plasma.
The liquid that remains after blood has clotted is called serum. Serum is the clear, yellowish fluid that separates from the blood when it coagulates, containing water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, and waste products, but lacking clotting factors. It is distinct from plasma, which is the liquid component of uncoagulated blood.
That would be blood.
No, it is not recommended to remix centrifuged whole blood specimens as it can affect the accuracy of test results due to potential cell lysis and mixing of plasma/serum with cellular components. It is best to follow the specific instructions provided for each test to ensure accurate results.
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.

Blood is what a chemist would describe as an aqueous solution; the liquid part is simply water.
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.
When a tube of blood is centrifuged, erythrocytes end up on the bottom of the tube.
The clear liquid portion of blood after centrifugation is called plasma. Plasma is made up of water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, and waste products. It plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
Many medical tests require the blood to be centrifuged prior to analysis. However, the hematocrit is completed after only the centrifuging process. The hematocrit measures the volume of the formed elements of the blood as a percentage of whole blood volume.
Plasma? Serum?
Red and purple blood cells.
no idea thats what im searching for /:
Certain colored tubes, such as those containing EDTA (lavender or purple top tubes) or citrate (light blue top tubes), should not be centrifuged if they are being used for specific tests that require whole blood. Additionally, blood culture bottles should also not be centrifuged, as the presence of air and the integrity of the sample are crucial for accurate microbial growth. Always refer to specific laboratory protocols for guidance on handling different tube types.
