What else can I help you with?
What color tube is used for bilirubin?
You could use a Red/Gray SST tube, or you could use a Green sodium heparin tube.
What color tube do yu use for venous blood gases?
Usually a heparinized syringe is used for collecting venous blood gases. The blood can then be transferred into a light green tube (sodium heparin) or dark green tube (lithium heparin) for transport to the laboratory.
What color tube is PSA test?
A PSA test is typically collected in a lavender-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
What color tube do you use to get an analysis for homocysteine level?
A lavender top tube is typically used to collect blood samples for homocysteine level analysis.
Color tube is used for PSA?
The color tube used for measuring PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is typically a red top tube. This tube contains no anticoagulant and is used for collecting blood samples for serum analysis. After the blood is collected, the tube is centrifuged, and the serum is then separated for PSA testing.
What tube to use for amonia blood test?
For ammonia blood tests, a heparin tube or EDTA tube can be used. Heparin tubes are preferred as they can help prevent ammonia levels from changing during transportation to the lab.

Is there an anticoagulant in the PST tube?
Yes, lithium heparin

What tube color to use for collection of blood for electrolyte testing?
The tube color commonly used for collecting blood for electrolyte testing is a green-top tube, which contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant. The green-top tube helps preserve the integrity of the sample for accurate electrolyte measurements.
What color tube is used to draw psa?
A red-top tube is typically used to collect blood for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.
What color is the tube for troponin?
The tube for troponin is typically a red-top tube.
Which determines the order of draw?
Because some tubes have additives (ie Heparin and Potassium) that can contaminate the next blood tube and skew the results. For instance, if you put blood into the tube with Heparin and then the tube used for coagulation studies the Heparin has the potential to thin the blood in that tube giving you a falsely high result
What color tube does theophylline go in?
Theophylline should be collected in a green-top tube containing lithium heparin.
