The haptoglobin test is typically collected in a red-top tube, which does not contain any additives. Alternatively, it can also be collected in a serum separator tube (SST).
The color of the tube for electrolyte testing is typically green.
The B12 lab tube color is typically red or gold.
The color tube for bilirubin direct is usually a green or dark green tube.
The color tube for LDL cholesterol testing is typically a lavender/purple top tube containing EDTA as the anticoagulant.
purple top.
Haptoglobin is a blood protein made by the liver.
serum is mixed with a substance that will bind to haptoglobin. The amount of bound haptoglobin is measured using a rate nephelometer, which measures the amount of light scattered by the bound haptoglobin

It will decrease.
The color of the tube for electrolyte testing is typically green.
Haptoglobin levels can be affected by factors such as inflammation, infection, liver disease, and certain conditions like hemolytic anemia. In response to these conditions, haptoglobin levels may decrease as it is used up to bind free hemoglobin in the blood. Conversely, haptoglobin levels may increase in response to some inflammatory conditions.
The B12 lab tube color is typically red or gold.
The color tube for bilirubin direct is usually a green or dark green tube.
so many red cells are destroyed that most of the available haptoglobin is needed to bind the released hemoglobin. The more severe the hemolysis, the less haptoglobin remains in the blood.
