Serum Extraction from Whole Blood

In this video, we demonstrate how to separate serum from whole blood samples. Specimens for rejection, such as lipemic and hemolytic samples are also shown.

Superb video. Clearly explained thank u so much Sir

[kuraito]

So that’s how they check your blood out? Amazing.

[sobysonics]

great video, couldnt find anything like it

[omololaonifade]

Beautiful video here. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation

[christinatham-yugu]

do you need to worry about the break for the centrifuge?

[funny]

How many days the serum can be stored at 4-5 Celsius degree ? Coud the serum be stored at minus 20 Celsius degree for long period ?

[monoham]

what if you are stuck on an island or far from a hospital and dont have any serum?

[pekitas]

could you get that blood back into your body ?

[stewartbowmer]

The whole point of using a pst or sst tube is avoiding the time and usage of pipetting. Just pop the top and pour the serum or plasma in the pour off tube after spinning.

Cn I use the incubator @37°c for 10 mints for time consuming, ,

Question, if you accidentally whole blood into the cartridge, what reading will it get?

[joicesummers]

This is more sense I'm a bit confused about the clarity of the serum .3rd week of taking class of phlebotomy

[beader]

Was the centrifuge blinking at 43oo for a reason?

[muslihakamarudheen]

What is the reason for the formation of gel like substnces?

[av]

This is an incorrect demonstration of preparing a serum sample from a red top tube. The “gel” formation following centrifugation is a fibrin clot. The specimen was not fully clotted prior to centrifugation. The sample needs to clot at least 1 hour or until the clot retracts (moves freely upon gentle inversion) from the side of the tube. Rimming is not correct procedure. This will remove the large fibrin clot and may free up some serum, but as the clotting cascade has started, fibrin clots will continue to form in the serum following aliquoting and will affect blood test results and may cause issues with analytical instruments. A second centrifugation will not improve the quality of the sample. Refer to the blood tube manufacturer’s instructions (available in the packing) for proper blood collection instructions and recommended clotting and centrifugation times and speeds for quality of samples.

This is scary bcs i just had aserum bcs i vomited 5 times at a day :( now i am gmbettr and healthier

[ibrahimssendagi]

I think the guy is transferring plasma not serum
