Question | Answer |
---|---|
Oxalate/fluoride, Sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate (Additve), Antiglycolytic agent preserves glucose up to 5 days, Glucoses, requires full draw(may cause hemolysis if short draw) | Gray top |
: soium heparin or litium heparin (Additive), Inactivates thrombin and thromboplastin, For litium level, use sodium heparin For ammonia level,use sodium or litium heparin | Green top |
EDTA (Additve), Forms calcium salts to remove calcium, Hematology(CBC) and Blood bank(crossmatch); requires full draw- invert 8 times to prevent clotting and platelet clumping | Lavender top |
: coagulation tube, Sodium Citrate(Additive) Forms calcium salts to remove calcium, Coagulation tests(protime and prothrombin time), full draw required | Light blue top |
Contains lithium heparin anticoagulant and a gel separator (Additive), Anticoagulates with litium heparin; plasma is separated with PST gel at the bottom of the tube | Light green top |
1.3 Potassium EDTA (Additive), Forms calcium salts Immunohematology. | Pink Top |
non additive tube,NO additive, Blood clots, and the serum is separated by centrifugation, chemistries, immunology and serology, blood bank(crossmatch) | Red top |
SST,contains a gel separator and clot activator, Thrombin & Gel (Additive), Serum separator tube contains a gel at bottom to separate blood from serum on centrifugation, Chemistries,Immunology and Serology | Red-gray, tiger or gold top |
1.2 EDTA(Additive), Tube is designed to contain no contaminating metals, Trace element testing(Zinc,copper,lead,mercury) and toxicology | Royal Blue Top |
1.1.blood culture or tube, ACD (Additive), complement inactivation, HLA tissue typing, paternity testing,DNA studies | Sterile yellow top |

Light Blue; invert 3 to 4 times. For coagulation determinations. | Citrate Tubes |
Lavender; invert 8 to 10 times. For whole blood hematology determinations; may be used for routine immunohematology testing and blood donor screening. | EDTA Tube |
Gray; invert 8 to 10 times. For glucose determinations; Oxalate and EDTA anticoagulants will give plasma samples. | Fluoride (glucose) Tubes |
Green; invert 8 to 10 times. For plasma determinations in chemistry. | Heparin Tube |
