Coagulation

Coagulation is a process of forming clumps or clots from a liquid. It is a vital part of the physiological process for maintaining blood clotting, healing wounds, and controlling inflammation. Coagulation is normally triggered by chemicals such as antithrombin, fibrinogen, and thrombin, released from cells or activated by the presence of certain substances in the blood. Coagulation also has a wide range of uses in medical, industrial, and technological fields, including the production of biomedical materials, water treatment, and analysis of biological samples.
