Lavender top test tubes are typically used for collecting whole blood for hematology tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) which includes white blood cell count, red blood cell count, platelet count, and hemoglobin levels. These tubes may also be used for blood bank testing, immunology, and serology tests.
Blue test tubes are typically used for blood coagulation (BC) tests.
Lavender tubes are typically used to collect blood for a Complete Blood Count (CBC), while light blue tubes are used for a Prothrombin Time (Protime) test.
The color of the top tube for an HGB A1C test is typically lavender. Lavender top tubes are used to collect whole blood samples for hematology tests, including HGB A1C testing.
For iron panel tests, the test tube typically used is a lavender or purple-topped tube. These tubes contain an anticoagulant and are used for collecting whole blood samples for hematology tests including iron panels.
A royal blue or lavender tube is typically used for lead blood tests. These tubes contain an additive that helps preserve the stability of lead in the sample during transportation and analysis.

HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
The tube for fasting blood sugar tests is typically a lavender or purple-colored tube.
Some blood test tubes need to be put on ice to preserve the integrity of certain lab tests that are sensitive to temperature changes. Cooling the tubes helps slow down the degradation of certain components in the blood and ensures more accurate test results.
