Serum
The sst top tube typically contains serum after processing because the clot activator in the tube separates the serum from the blood cells. Plasma is obtained from tubes with anticoagulants that prevent clot formation.
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).
For an albumin test, the recommended blood tube is a red-top tube or a serum separator tube (SST) as it does not contain any anticoagulant, which is necessary for the accurate measurement of albumin levels.
A green or lavender top tube can be used for a uric acid test.
Green top tube ( lithium or sodium heparin) for plasma CMP; or Red top/SST for CMP, serum
Either an SST or Red-top tube.
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.

SST stands for serum separator tube, the typical marble top tube used to collect many blood samples.
For an albumin test, the recommended blood tube is a red-top tube or a serum separator tube (SST) as it does not contain any anticoagulant, which is necessary for the accurate measurement of albumin levels.
sst tube contain a specific type of gel that separates the blood after centrifuge.
A green or lavender top tube can be used for a uric acid test.
Green top tube ( lithium or sodium heparin) for plasma CMP; or Red top/SST for CMP, serum
A test tube with a red top or a gold SST tube is typically used for collecting blood for antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing. After collection, the blood sample is centrifuged to separate the serum, which is then tested for the presence of ANAs.
red top for most hormones for 0.5 ml or gold top for 7ml tube.
A CEA test typically requires a serum separator tube (SST) or a red-top tube for blood collection.
