Assuming that BMP stands for a Basic Metabolic Panel, the tube most commonly used in testing is a gold top or (serum separator tube).
Green top tube ( lithium or sodium heparin) for plasma CMP; or Red top/SST for CMP, serum

There is no order of draw. A comprehensive metabolic panel is just one tube, an SST or serum separator tube.

Phlebotomy is the department of medicine that is responsible for blood draws and using the right tubes to send blood off for testing. The Lavender tube is used for a CBC test, the RPR test is the red/gold tube and the basic metabolic test is also in the red gold tube.
A potassium test is used to detect abnormal concentrations of potassium, including high potassium (hyperkalemia) and low potassium (hypokalemia). It is often used as part of an electrolyte panel or basic metabolic panel for a routine physical. So the test in done in a SSP, serum separator tube, with glass/silica particles for enhanced coagulation. The tube stopper top can be gold or red tiger.
