What color tube is used in electrolyte panel?
SST or gel separator tube
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.
Correct order of draw for coagulation studies?
Order of draw for a phelobotomist is the following (tubes that collect specimens in a phelobotomist case is blood specimen the most common one used are lavender for blood counts and red for serology pregnancy test and STD's and SST tubes which are seum separator tubes that go to chemistry there's only a few SST and the other tubes contain Plasma some examples, are the lavender the light blue gray for toxicology and etc etc. Theres about 14 common tubes that are identified with their top colors 4 of them are SST that contain serum and 10 are plasma (these are chemicals that are in the tube to preserve the blood specimen) to aid on the testing . There are many department to which these tubes are send to but with the proper training and practice these Order of Draw get easier The test are many hundreds and the deparment are quite a few As long as you recognize these that are the most common ones you be on your way to be a very sucesfull phlrbotomist like me Im eaven surprise of the information that I provided here Hopefully It will help someone. Phelobotomist student.
Color tube is used for lipid panel test?
sst You would use the plan red top tube or serum obtaining tubes. Those could be red or red/gold an so on.

What color test tube is TSH?
There are several tests done for thyroid function. They require different tubes.
What is the purpose of the gel inside of certain tubes?
For venous blood specimens, if it is test tubes used in blood collection that you are referring to, the gel is a serum separator. When the sample is centrifuged, the red cells will spin to the bottom, plasma to the top, gel separating the blood components.

What color tube is a folate?
Sst tube plasma.. Red tube/with ad
You want to know a small report about sst venipuncture tube with gold redblack color coded stopper?
sst tube contain a specific type of gel that separates the blood after centrifuge.
Thixotropic gel found in the sst red and gray marbled topped vacutainer tube?
has the same density as red blood cells
What is the blue band at the bottom of the gel when PAGE gel is performed and where are the DNA fragments?
The blue band at the bottom of the gel is Bromophenol blue and DNA fragments will be in the gel according to their molecular weight.
What is Serum separator tube SST?
SST Tube stands for "Serum Separator Tube"This is a gel and clot activator tube that is used for clinical biochemistry and immunology. Inside the tube, there is a barrier gel present at the bottom, which is a pure substance, very stable in physical and chemical features. Even under a high temperature, the barrier will not change inside at all. After centrifugation, the barrier can effectively separate the serum from fibrin and cell, while preventing substance exchange between blood cell and serum.
Serum separator tubes used in hematology may not be used when collecting blood for a?
Serum Separator Tube (SST ™') for serum determinations in chemistry and serology. Contains separator gel and should not be used for toxicology or drug testing. Inversions ensure mixing of clot activator with blood. Blood clotting time 30 minutes.
