Refers to the fluid portion of the blood obtained after coagulation.

L. = whey (watery part of curdled milk); yellowish watery fluid remaining after blood clotting; adj. serous.
The watery portion of the blood that sometimes oozes through the skin.
The colourless, fluid component of blood remaining after the solid elements have been separated out.
Clear, non-cellular portion of the blood, containing antibodies and other proteins and chemicals.
any clear, watery fluid such as the pale yellow liquid that separates from the clot in the coagulation of blood
is the clear, slightly yellow fluid which separates from blood when it clots. Sera containing antibodies and antitoxins against infections and toxins of various kinds (antisera) have been used extensively in prevention or treatment of various diseases.
The clear, yellowish fluid that comprises the liquid part of whole blood.
That part of the blood plasma that remains after clots have formed and been removed.
The fluid portion of the blood, after clot formation.
the fluid portion of the blood obtained after the removal of cells and the fibrin clot.
The fluid portion of the blood remaining after a clot has formed.
The clear, yellowish-coloured liquid portion of blood.
That part of blood that's left after it clots. Distinct from plasma, which is that part of unclotted blood that remains on top when blood is spun down in a centrifuge (which will still clot and leave serum unless an anticoagulant is added). Various serum tests (tests done on serum, also called blood tests), are described in this dictionary.

watery fluid of the blood that resembles plasma but contains fibrinogen
The clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. Also called blood serum.
The clear liquid which separates in the clotting of blood.
Serum is the fluid portion of the blood ; it is essentially similar in composition to plasma but lacks fibrinogen and other substances that are used in the coagulation (blood clotting) process.
The liquid part of the blood that remains after the blood has been allowed to form a blood clot.
(plural SERA) Liquid component of blood that remains when blood cells and clotting factors are removed.
The fluid part of blood called is plasma. Serum is this fluid minus the fibrogen (blood clotting property).
The clear fluid portion of the blood, separated from its solid elements.
The clear yellow, fluid portion of blood remaining after cells are removed (often seen once a wound scabs over). Back to glossary index
a blood component that separates from blood cells.
The fluid component of clotted blood that contains antibodies and other soluble material.
The fluid part of blood free from suspended material such as white and red blood cells. Serum differs from plasma in that blood clotting factors are removed.
A clear liquid part of blood.
The clear liquid that can be separated from clotted blood
fluid portion of blood; retains antibodies present in whole blood.
The watery component of blood.
a clear fluid that separates when blood clots.
the clear or slightly yellowish liquid that remains after the plasma portion is allowed to clot; blood is comprised of a plasma portion (55%) and a cellular portion (45%); plasma contains water, salts, and plasma proteins (albumin, fibrinogen, antibodies) whereas the cellular portion contains red blood cells (erythrocytes), platelets, and white blood cells (leukocytes)
the fluid, non-cellular portion of blood that remains after coagulation; lymphatic fluid.
the clear, thin fluid portion of the blood which remains after coagulation; antibodies and other proteins are found in the serum.
the clear, straw-coloured, liquid portion of the blood plasma that does not contain fibrinogen or blood cells, and remains fluid after clotting of blood.
A liquid part of the blood.
emotional needs. Serum: The component of blood that is obtained when the cells and clotting factors are removed from the blood.
The part of human blood that remains liquid when blood cells form a clot. Human blood serum is clear light yellow in color.
The liquid that separates from the blood when a clot is formed.
The clear yellowish fluid that remains after suspended material (blood cells), fibrinogen, and fibrin have been removed from the blood.
The clear portion of any body fluid that moistens serous membranes. It is also the liquid portion of blood remaining once the blood cells and clotting factors have been removed.
The fluid portion of blood without the cells or clotting factors. Serum obtained from animals immune to a particular condition and injected into other individuals in order to give the recipient a degree of passive immunity is known as antiserum
the clear component of blood.
The watery portion of an animal fluid remaining after coagulation
Non-cellular components of blood which remain after clotting.
The clear liquid that separates from the blood when it is allowed to clot. This fluid retains any antibodies that were present in the whole blood.
the fluid portion of blood that is left after clotting.
Any serous fluid especially the fluid which moistens the surfaces of serous membranes. The watery portion of the blood after coagulation; a fluid found when clotted blood is left standing long enough for the clot to shrink.
The liquid part of blood (as opposed to blood cells) that makes up about half its volume. Serum differs from plasma in that the blood sample has clotted. A centrifuge is used in the laboratory to separate serum from cells after blood has clotted.
