For CBC (Complete Blood Count) and platelet count tests, typically purple-top tubes containing the anticoagulant EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) are used. These tubes are designed to prevent blood clotting and preserve the integrity of blood cells for accurate testing.
Platelet function studies are typically collected in a blue-top tube (sodium citrate) to prevent clotting and maintain the function of platelets for analysis.
Lavender (EDTA) tube is commonly used for reticulocyte count.
The color of the tube commonly used for CBC (Complete Blood Count) is lavender or purple.
A lavender-top tube is typically used for CD4 cell count testing.
A lavender-top tube should be collected for a complete blood count (CBC).

The lavender/purple tube is typically used for a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test.
A lavender-topped (EDTA) tube is commonly used to draw blood for a complete blood count (CBC) without a differential count.
A lavender or purple top tube is typically used for a complete blood count (CBC) with differential testing.
Lavender top (EDTA) tube is typically used for drawing blood for a reticulocyte count. This tube is commonly used for hematology tests because it contains an anticoagulant (EDTA) which helps preserve the blood sample.
A complete blood count (CBC) is drawn in a lavender-top tube.
