  -> Merci, macho.
agree  Gabriella Maldonado: Si. Esu n adyuvante o ayudante de la coagulación. Reducen el tiempo de formación del flóculo. Ejemplo alginato de sodio, goma de tuna, almidones solubles en agua fría (pregelatinizados), goma de semillas de nirmali, pulpa de algarrobo, gelatina común
4 hrs
  -> Gracias, maja :)
agree  Miguel Armentia: Me equivoqué y Gabriella me lo hizo ver claramente. Personalmente diría, como sugiere ella "ayudante de coagulación", pero las 2 son correctas. Por esto es bueno mantener las consultas abiertas un tiempo prudencial, ;-)
