SST or gel separator tube
The laboratory tube color typically used for collecting blood samples for an electrolyte panel is a green-top tube that contains lithium heparin as the anticoagulant. The green color indicates that it is suitable for collecting samples for various chemistry tests, including electrolyte measurements.
A lavender-top tube is typically used for iron panel tests.
The tube color commonly used for collecting blood for electrolyte testing is a green-top tube, which contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant. The green-top tube helps preserve the integrity of the sample for accurate electrolyte measurements.
The color-topped evacuated tube typically used for the collection of blood for electrolyte testing is a green-top tube, which contains heparin as an anticoagulant. Heparin prevents clotting and ensures accurate testing of electrolyte levels in the blood.
A yellow tube is typically used for lipid panels.

A red-stoppered tube is typically used to collect a sample for a lipid panel test.
The color tube that may be used for a lipid panel test is typically a red or gold/tiger top tube. However, it's essential to check the specific requirements of the laboratory where the test will be conducted, as tube color conventions can vary.
A gold or red/gray tiger top tube (serum separator tube) is typically used to collect a blood sample for a lipid panel test.
A gold or red/gray tiger top tube is typically used for a liver panel. This tube contains a gel separator to separate serum from cells after the blood is centrifuged.
A basic metabolic panel is typically collected in a green or green/gray-stoppered tube, which contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant.
