Welcome to Week 1 Day 3 Part 2!

Plasma Tubes

Today we'll start learning about the PLASMA tubes! Most of the rest of the tubes will be plasma tubes. Unlike serum tubes, the blood in a plasma tube never clots!
All plasma tubes have an anticoagulant, which keeps the blood from clotting. When plasma tubes are spun in a centrifuge, the sample separates: heavier elements on the bottom/plasma on the top.
Plasma contains clotting factors which is what Plasma Centers want. They will buy yours every couple of weeks for pretty good money!
Yesterday we learned about the SERUM GEL TWINS Marble Red and Gold. Well, the fun continues with another TWOFER! MARBLE GREEN and MINT are twins on the PLASMA SIDE of the FAMILY.
Like the serum twins, the plasma twins are alike in every respect except for their stoppers. They also both have a GEL like their Serum counterparts. The difference is that the plasma twins contain an anticoagulant to keep the blood from clotting. These two tubes are used for STAT (short-turn-around-time) tests. (Because no time is lost waiting for the blood to clot, the sample is ready to test as soon as the tube has been filled!)
