For a HgA1c you would need a lavender top tube.
The correct color tube for a thrombin test is typically a light blue tube. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which is needed for coagulation studies.
The tube top color for an acid phosphatase blood test is lavender.
A clear or transparent test tube is typically used for a lipid test to easily observe any color changes or reactions that occur during the test.

A gold or yellow test tube is commonly used for ferritin testing.
A red tube with no anticoagulant is typically used for an AFP test.
A clear or colorless test tube is typically used when performing a sodium test to accurately observe the color changes in the solution. If a colored test tube is used, it may interfere with the interpretation of the results.
