Separation of Serum from Blood by Centrifugation

Discover how Separation of Serum from Blood by Centrifugation enables students to obtain serum for clinical and biochemical analysis. This experiment explains how collected blood is allowed to clot before centrifugation separates the clear serum from the clot and blood cells. Students learn about different blood collection tubes, safety precautions for handling blood, centrifuge operation, and techniques for carefully transferring the serum without contamination. The experiment also introduces the principles behind serum separation and its applications in biochemical tests, immunoassays, and hormone analysis. By completing the procedure, students develop practical knowledge of blood processing and proper serum handling and storage.
