A blood-partitioning composition comprising a mixture of n (1) a thixotropy-imparting agent, n (2) a first viscous liquid material having strong interaction with the thixotropy-imparting agent, and n (3) a second viscous liquid material having no strong interaction with the thixotropy-imparting agent and having good compatibility with the first viscous liquid material, n said composition having a specific gravity at 20° C. of from 1.03 to 1.08, and use of the composition in a method for partitioning a sample of blood. |
