A red-top tube is typically used to test for herpes antibodies through a blood test. The blood sample is collected into the red-top tube, which does not contain any preservatives or anticoagulants. It is important to check with the specific laboratory or healthcare provider for their preferred collection tube.
A red or gold-top tube is typically used for testing herpes virus antibodies. These tubes usually contain a clot activator and gel separator to obtain serum for testing.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
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 red or gold-top tube is typically used for testing herpes virus antibodies. These tubes usually contain a clot activator and gel separator to obtain serum for testing.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
A blood sample is typically used for testing herpes. This sample is usually collected through a venipuncture procedure, where blood is drawn from a vein in the arm using a vacutainer tube or a similar blood collection tube. The specific type of tube may vary depending on the laboratory's requirements.
Gray tube
SST tube (yellow color)
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.
blue tube
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 red tube with no anticoagulant is typically used for an AFP test.
A gold or yellow test tube is commonly used for ferritin testing.
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.
