    This document provides an introduction to separating blood components through centrifugation. It aims to teach students how to separate red blood cells from plasma. It first defines blood and its main components - red blood cells, which carry oxygen, and white blood cells, which fight infection. It then explains that centrifugation uses centripetal force to separate substances of different densities in a mixture, and is commonly used in medical laboratories to separate blood cells from plasma.

    Objectives.

    Upon completion of this experiment,students should be able:


    a. To separate the red blood cells from the plasma.

    Introduction.

    Blood, fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries away carbon
    dioxide and other waste products. Technically, blood is a transport liquid pumped by the
    heart (or an equivalent structure) to all parts of the body, after which it is returned to the heart
    to repeat the process.Blood consists of two types of cells: Red Blood Cells (RBC), called also
    erythrocytes and White Blood Cells (WBC), called leucocytes. Erythrocytes are the blood
    cells that distribute oxygen from the lungs to all the other parts throughout the whole
    organism, whereas the leucocytes are responsible for attacking any infectious cells, sustaining
    the optimal performance of the whole immune system.White Blood Cells can be furthermore
    categorized into: lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils
    (granulocytes).
    Centrifugation is the process of separating substance of different densities from a mixture
    with the help of centrifuge.The use of centrifuge technology is critical in the clinical
    laboratory setting for the separation of liquid and solid components. In laboratories
    performing biochemical analyses on body fluids, centrifuges are routinely used to separate
    blood cells from serum/plasma, to separate sediment from urine, to measure the volume
    fraction of erythrocytes in blood (the hematocrit), and to separate bound from free
    components in protein binding and immunoprocedures. Less routinely, centrifugation is used
    for separation of lipoproteins in reference procedures for their measurement, separation of
    cellular components, and separation of DNA fragments.
