serum - (Oct/28/2005 )

hi!

does the serum contain any cells ?

if yes

what type of cells does it contain?

thanks in advance

no, serum normally doesn't contain any cells.

if there went something amiss during serum preperation, which is very very unlikely, though, serum could contain some cells, and these cells would be normal blood cells like, red and white blood cells.
