The color of the top tube used for DNA testing is typically purple. This color indicates that the tube contains an anticoagulant called EDTA to preserve the DNA within the sample.
Test tube racks are commonly used in laboratories to hold and organize multiple test tubes in an upright position for easy observation and handling during experiments. They are also used for storage and transport of samples, ensuring they remain organized and protected. Additionally, test tube racks can be used in educational settings to demonstrate chemical reactions or biological experiments to students.
The test tubes used for collecting blood for a cholesterol test are typically red or gold-topped tubes. These tubes contain a gel separator to separate the serum from the blood cells after centrifugation, allowing for accurate measurement of cholesterol levels in the serum.
A test tube 13 mm (about half an inch) in diameter and 100 mm (a bit under 4 inches) long.
