No, I do not spin a blue top tube.
A blue-top tube (sodium citrate) is typically used to collect blood samples for Prothrombin Time (PT) testing.
A light blue top tube containing sodium citrate is typically used for collecting blood samples for D-dimer testing, as citrate is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting during processing. The tube must be filled completely to ensure the proper blood-to-anticoagulant ratio.
A light blue top tube is typically used for Protime blood collection, as it contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
A light blue top tube would least likely be used for collecting blood samples for coagulation studies, as these typically require a blue top tube containing sodium citrate for anticoagulation. Light blue top tubes are commonly used for coagulation studies (PT/INR, PTT) and may contain citrate to prevent clotting of the sample.
No, a lavender top tube cannot be physically spun due to its shape and design. It is typically used for storing blood samples or other biological specimens during medical procedures.

the cadiac enzymes must be drawn in a green top tube or a red top not a lavender i dont knw who put that but they are really stupid
