@ipineheart: Plasma and serum may look similar, but they’re not the same. 🩸🧪 The key difference? Clotting. 🔹 Plasma comes from blood collected with an anticoagulant and contains clotting factors. 🔹 Serum is obtained after the blood has clotted, so key clotting factors are consumed during the clotting process. Understanding the difference is an important part of proper specimen handling. 💬 Did you already know the difference between plasma and serum? #Phlebotomy #Phlebotomist #PlasmaVsSerum #BloodCollection #Phlebotomy
