blood processing

Blood processing involves separating blood into its component parts to use or study them more effectively. First, a blood sample is collected and spun in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins very fast. This separates the blood into layers: red blood cells at the bottom, white blood cells and platelets in the middle, and plasma (the liquid part) at the top. These components can then be collected for different medical purposes, such as transfusions, testing, or research. The process ensures blood components are isolated, safe, and ready for specific treatments or analysis.
