The liquid collected in a test tube is typically referred to as the "sample" or "solution." It can contain various substances or molecules depending on the experiment or analysis being conducted.
When heating a liquid in a test tube, make sure to use a Bunsen burner or a hot plate, and gently heat the bottom of the test tube. Avoid heating the liquid too quickly to prevent bumping or boiling over. Use a test tube holder to hold the test tube and prevent accidental spills or burns.
A PSA test is typically collected in a lavender-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
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).

If a lavender tube is collected before a light green tube, there is a risk of contamination and carryover of additives present in the lavender tube into the sample collected in the light green tube. This can affect the accuracy of test results and potentially lead to erroneous findings. It is important to follow the correct order of draw to ensure the integrity of the samples.
No, the liquid portion of a specimen collected in a tube containing EDTA is plasma. Serum is the liquid portion of a blood sample collected in a tube without anticoagulant. EDTA is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting by chelating calcium ions.

In a test tube microscale distillation setup, the distillate is collected by attaching a small test tube or vial to the condenser. As the vapor condenses, it drips down into the attached container. The test tube is placed in an ice bath to further condense the vapor and facilitate collection.
A PSA test is typically collected in a lavender-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
the proper way to heat a liquid in a test tube is by putting it in open flame.
- the test tube may break- the liquid can be spread outside
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).

Container of liquid/chemical
The liquid droplets on the inner upper side of the test tube are likely due to condensation. As the test tube is heated, the air inside expands and rises, coming into contact with the cooler upper side of the test tube, causing it to condense into droplets.
If a lavender tube is collected before a light green tube, there is a risk of contamination and carryover of additives present in the lavender tube into the sample collected in the light green tube. This can affect the accuracy of test results and potentially lead to erroneous findings. It is important to follow the correct order of draw to ensure the integrity of the samples.
I think the test tube rack is used to hold any amount of chemical or liquid during an experiment.
