What type of blood is used for a microhematocrit test?
capillary blood
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.

How do you read a microhematocrit tube?
Microhematocrit tubes are read according to PCV (Packed Cell Volume). After centrifuging the tube, you will need a PCV card reader to determine the amount of packed red blood cells within the sample of blood. The PCV is determined by aligning the top of the clay plug (just as it reaches the layer of red blood cells) on the zero line and then gently "rolling" the tube up the chart until the intersecting middle line is aligned where the packed red cells and Buffy coat meet. Read across the chart and you should have a percentage of red blood cells to record as a PCV.
