When you draw blood for a digoxin level which tube do you us?
Type your answer here... Use a SST (Serum Seperator Tube)
What color tube do you collect a fbs in?
I'm 90% sure that a FBS(fasting glucose) is drawn into a SST(serum seperator tube) A.k.a. "tiger top".
What color blood tube for serum ferritin blood levels?
Red (Serum) Tube or a Gold (SST) Tube
What does the red top tube contain plasma or serum?
serum
Is a red top tube referred to as a serum separator tube?
Depends who you buy your red top tubes from, but mostly no. A serum seperator tube (SST) is usually yellow or gold top, it has a lump of clear gel in the bottom. When spun this gel ends up between the serum and red blood cellsmaking it easier to seperate the serum. A red top is generally a tube with nothing at all in it. So when spun you end up with serum and clotted red cells but nothing seperating them. Most other colour tubes contain an anti coagulant preventing the blood from clotting so when spun you end up with plasma and red cells. The important thing for most tests is the difference between serum and plasma, so a red top and an SST can generally be used for the same tests although SST is often prefered as its easier to work with.

What does the the SST tube contain plasma or serum after processing?
An SST tube will contain serum once its been centrifuged. SST stands for serum separator tube. It will separate the serum from the other blood components.
What tube is classified as a serum separator tube?

What test are ran using the tiger top tube?
You use the tiger top tube also known as as serum separator tube can be used to obtain blood serum and it can be used to run specialized tests on that serum.
