Question

what is the difference between plasma and serum?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

Plasma is that part of the blood, which contains blood clotting agent called as fibrinogen, while serum is the fluid part of the blood and does not contain clotting agent. The plasma and serum can be extracted from the centrifugation of blood. The serum is obtained after the clotting of blood, while plasma can be obtained before the coagulation of the blood. Centrifugation separates the blood components by its weight, size, and density.

Answer 2

Plasma

1) plasma is the water fluid portion of the blood, in which several blood cells are dilluted and is obtained after the centrifugation by adding the anticoagulation agent's

2) Plasma is a liquid

3) fibrinogen present in plasma

4) Anticoagulant needed (EDTA Heparin)

5) 55% of the total blood is plasma

Serum

1) The fluid or undiluted part of the blood, obtained after the complete coagulation of the blood without adding an anticoagulation agent's

2) The serum is fluid

3) Fibrinogen Absent in serum

4) Anticoagulant not needed

5) The serum is less in volume comparitavely
