It depends on the test - each test has a different type of test tube top.
A red-top tube is commonly used for albumin testing.
The test tube top used for troponin testing is typically red or gold. This color coding helps to easily identify the specific test being performed.
A red-top tube is typically used for the CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) test. This tube does not contain any anticoagulants and is used for serum collection.
A lavender or purple top tube is typically used for a parathyroid hormone (PTH) test.
Gray top tube (GTT) is typically used for glucose tolerance test.
