Screen for blood component (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plasma

I believe this is a double definition.

'screen' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'blood component' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plasma that I've seen before include "Yellow liquid in blood" , "element of transfusion" , "Part of blood; ionised material" , "Colourless fluid part of blood" , "Clear fluid portion of blood" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
