Final answer:

Explains the outcomes of centrifuging whole blood on histopaque under different conditions.


Explanation:

When whole blood is overlayed on histopaque and centrifuged with variations in speed, temperature, or using different substances, different outcomes can occur:

  1. If higher speed is used: Components may separate more efficiently based on density.
  2. If high temperature is used: It can affect the integrity of the blood components during centrifugation.
  3. If lower speed is used: Separation may be less effective and results may be inaccurate.
  4. If blood wasn't overlayed but poured into ficoll histopaque: Proper separation may not occur.
  5. If water was used instead of ficoll histopaque: There would be no density gradient for separation.
