coagulum

The clear, straw-colored fluid which is left after separation of the coagulum is called blood-serum.

The resulting coagulum is made up of a meshwork of fibrin fibrils with entangled corpuscles and plaques.

On attempting to dissolve it in ordinary burning alcohol, a white coagulum forms.

The heat given to the dung-bath accelerates this combination, and determines an insoluble and perfectly inert coagulum.

The coagulum should be cut as soon as it will break clean across the finger when placed in it and lifted gently upward.
