How many tubes would you need for your blood draw to process lab exams order for a CBC HCG HIV and Chem-screen panel?

CBC lavender top tube, HCG separate red top tube (if sending to outsourced lab) HIV blue top tube and Chem panel red top tube. So most likely 4 tubes. ------------------ At our office, we would need a lavender top for CBC, a tiger top for HCG and chem panel, and a separate, full tiger top for HIV. The answer really depends on your work setting and the type of HIV test that is being performed at the lab.


How it is possible for some one to test negative on a simple urine test and positive on the standard test?

Pregnancy tests measure the level of hcg in your body. When you are pregnant, and as your pregnancy progresses, your hcg level rises. When you take a urine pregnancy test and it comes back negative, the level of hcg is not high enough to register on the test. When the quantitative serum pregnancy test is positive, it is a more acurate reading of how far along in your pregnancy you actually are.
