The color of the top tube typically used for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing is red or red-gray.
The tube for collecting blood for Beta HCG testing is typically a plain red-top tube.
The recommended tube for collecting blood for HCG Quant AFP testing is a red or gold-top tube.
A red or yellow test tube is typically used for an hCG test, as these tubes contain a gel separator to separate serum from the blood after centrifugation. This allows for better and cleaner sample collection for the test.
The color of tube used for ferritin is typically gold or red/gray.

The color top tube used to collect whole blood with an additive is typically a lavender or purple top tube. This type of tube is commonly used for collecting blood samples for hematology testing.
For HCG quantitative testing, the preferred tube color is typically lavender or purple, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. However, some laboratories may also accept serum samples collected in a red-top tube without additives. Always check with the specific laboratory for their requirements, as practices may vary.
For a HgA1c you would need a lavender top tube.
