Human Biologicals Defined
Single Donors give a considerate amount of either their blood or its components like serum, plasma, and platelets. Pooled or random donation occurs when more than one human combine to donate the components of blood to help others. Components of Human Blood Human blood is composed of white blood cells, red blood cells, serum, and plasma. The main difference between red blood cells and white blood cells is the presence of hemoglobin in the former and absence of it in the latter. Plasma, a yellow liquid has the greatest volume in blood i.e. 55%, while serum has the lowest one. Serum and plasma are usually used for different tests; however, both are further used for multiple purposes. Plasma separation from blood takes more time than the separation of serum. Also, in case of plasma, the division requires anticoagulants. Pooled and Single Serum Serum does not possess coagulating factors. The serum, a tiny leftover in blood, is collected from single human donors and then poole...
