What does the sst top tube contain plasma or serum after processing?
serum
What does the SST top tube contain?
Serum
What color tube is used in a comprehensive metabolic panel?
Green top tube ( lithium or sodium heparin) for plasma CMP; or Red top/SST for CMP, serum
What color blood tube for serum ferritin blood levels?
Red (Serum) Tube or a Gold (SST) Tube
How do you obtain blood serum?
Serum is obtained from a SSt tube, which is allowed to clot and is then centrifuged
What does the the SST tube contain plasma or serum after processing?
An SST tube will contain serum once its been centrifuged. SST stands for serum separator tube. It will separate the serum from the other blood components.

Is a red top tube referred to as a serum separator tube?
Depends who you buy your red top tubes from, but mostly no. A serum seperator tube (SST) is usually yellow or gold top, it has a lump of clear gel in the bottom. When spun this gel ends up between the serum and red blood cellsmaking it easier to seperate the serum. A red top is generally a tube with nothing at all in it. So when spun you end up with serum and clotted red cells but nothing seperating them. Most other colour tubes contain an anti coagulant preventing the blood from clotting so when spun you end up with plasma and red cells. The important thing for most tests is the difference between serum and plasma, so a red top and an SST can generally be used for the same tests although SST is often prefered as its easier to work with.
