The recommended color tube for drawing an A1C blood test is lavender.
The tube color typically used for a prothrombin time (PT) blood test is a light blue-top tube containing sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
A light blue-top tube with sodium citrate is typically used to collect blood for Factor V Leiden testing, as citrate is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting during processing.
A red-colored blood drawing tube is typically used to collect a serum specimen.
Light blue is typically the color of the tube used for coagulation profiles. It contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during testing.
The recommended color tube for drawing an A1C blood test is lavender.
The tube color typically used for a prothrombin time (PT) blood test is a light blue-top tube containing sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
Guessing you're asking about color coded vacutainers, since otherwise I can't make any sense of the question. Light blue is usually the color code for a tube with sodium citrate.
A light blue-top tube with sodium citrate is typically used to collect blood for Factor V Leiden testing, as citrate is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting during processing.
A red-colored blood drawing tube is typically used to collect a serum specimen.
Light blue is typically the color of the tube used for coagulation profiles. It contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during testing.
The tube used for drawing blood for testosterone testing is typically a red-top tube.
A blue-top tube (citrate tube) is used for collecting blood samples for the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test.
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.
SST tubes used for blood drawing typically have a gold or yellow-colored cap. This color indicates that the tube contains a gel separator and clot activator, making it suitable for serum separation.
A light blue tube is typically used to collect blood for a coumadin test (PT/INR). This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
