@lifeinthelabatdoncaster: Serum vs Plasma. A basic overview as to the differences. Serum is centrifuged after the blood has clotted due to the lack of anticoagulant in the tube. Plasma sample tubes contain an EDTA that prevent the sample clotting. The sample is the centrifuged, if required, once received in the lab. #lab #laboratoryscientist #laboratorylife #laboratory #labtech #labtechnician #bms #biomedicalscience #hcpc #ibms #sciencetok #labsoftiktok #nhs #nhsworker #scienceiscool #pathology #scientist
