Serum Extraction from Whole Blood 

Serum can be stored in -20 degrees up for 3-4 weeks. For longer periods serum should be stored in -80 degrees.

That's the RPM of the centrifuge we are using. But it's equivalent to 2000g for our centrifuge.

Yes. Plasma separator or serum separator tubes can also be used to easily obtain plasma or serum. However, there are some tests in the clinical lab that may be affected by using these types of tubes. In these cases, it would be best to use a regular red top tube.

It would depend on the manufacturer/type of test you’re using. Some cartridges allow for the use of whole blood or serum. In these cases, the test results will be the same with both samples.

It’s serum because the blood was allowed to fully clot before centrifugation. Also, plasma can only be obtained in tubes with anticoagulants like EDTA (purple-top tubes).

I'm not a medical student but from what I've learnt in school, it's used in the preparation of vaccines.

@Amairha Styles sound like urine got into the muscle by injection, shouldn't be digestive enzymes intramuscular or helping proteins get injested

@@guytelfer1353 I don’t know enough about this topic, I’m sorry

@@amairhapokala enough for a video lecture explaining what the serem is used for

In the clinical lab, serum is used for testing various analytes like blood sugar, lipids, etc. It can also be used of the serologic detection of various diseases.

the sugars on the blood stick together like a key in a lock if they are the same blood type which forms the gel. or in this case the sugars are extracted from the blood and made into a reagent of type ABO or Rh if they're a different type they will stick less. I'm not sure if the same persons blood will stick to itself

No ...plasma contains clotting factors but serum doesn't
