Plasma is the fluid obtained before clotting of blood.
Serum is the fluid obtained after clotting of blood.
Clotting proteins present in plasma are absent in serum.

Answer / sunil patel
1. Plasma is the part of the blood that contains both the serum and clotting factors.
2. Serum is the part of the blood that remains once the clotting factors like fibrin have been removed.
3. Plasma contains the clotting factors and water, while serum contains proteins like albumin and globulins.

Answer / v. dejesus
Plasma is an anticoagulant and serum is a clot activator
therefore when blood mixes with plasma it cannot become or
make a clot, but when it is mixed with serum it clots. Many
anticoagulants contain calcium which binds with blood,
other contain potassium oxalate which can act as a
preservative for the blood.
When blood is mixed with serum it will clot faster because
many contain thrombin which coagulates faster and other
thixotropic gel which acts as thrombin.
