Transcription from Spain - Interview of Blood Bank Staff
Lo que es la centrifugación, lo que te comentaba, lo que es la centrifugación se pueden poner, a lo mejor, para hacer el empaquetado, siete personas, pero luego cada turno tendrá, pues, como unas cuatro personas que están haciendo ehh... tres, cuatro personas que están haciendo la separación, pero a la vez se están haciendo los pooles de plaquetas, y a la vez se está etiquetando. Y luego, por la noche, hay dos personas, dos, tres personas, dependiendo, que se encargan de hacer también el control en placa y son las que hacen el... parte del laboratorio de técnicas de [biología] molecular, porque son las que organizan los pooles para hacerlo ahora.

Explanation:

checking slide(s)/plate(s)


Explanation:
In the absence of an X-ray context, I see no alternative but to fall back on the "plate" definition of "placa," and the only thing I can think of that sounds even half-way close in a blood context is a slide for a blood sample. Slide definition: "a flat piece of glass on which an object is mounted for microscopic examination."
