Plasma.

Description
Blood is composed of plasma and formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets). When a specimen of whole blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun quickly, the heavier parts (the formed elements) settle to the bottom, and the clear, straw-colored plasma remains on the top.
