Red/ Tiger top
A red-top tube is typically used to perform a basic metabolic panel (BMP) in the laboratory.
A basic metabolic panel (BMP) typically uses a green-top tube for blood collection. This tube contains a lithium heparin additive to prevent clotting and is suitable for most chemistry tests included in a BMP.
Assuming that BMP stands for a Basic Metabolic Panel, the tube most commonly used in testing is a gold top or (serum separator tube).
A gold or red-top vacutainer tube is typically used for a basic metabolic panel (BMP) blood draw.
The color of the top tube for a BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) blood draw is typically gold or red-gray, depending on the manufacturer. It is important to verify the specific tube color with the healthcare provider or laboratory performing the blood draw to ensure accurate collection.

A serum separator tube (SST) with a red or gold stopper is typically used to collect a basic metabolic panel (BMP). This type of tube allows for the separation of serum from the blood cells after centrifugation, which is important for accurate results in BMP testing.
A Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) typically requires a serum separator tube (SST) or a gel-barrier tube. These tubes are commonly gold or red-striped tops. The gold or red-striped top tube is used to collect a blood sample for various tests, including those in a BMP, which measures basic metabolic markers like glucose, electrolytes, and kidney function.
Assuming that BMP stands for a Basic Metabolic Panel, the tube most commonly used in testing is a gold top or (serum separator tube).
A red-top or gold-top tube is typically used for a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) test. It may vary depending on the laboratory or specific requirements, so it's always best to check with the specific facility where the test is being performed.
No, a red top tube is not suitable for drawing a basic metabolic panel (BMP). BMP tests typically require a serum separator tube (SST), which is usually a gold or tiger top tube, to allow for proper separation of serum from blood cells after centrifugation. The red top tube does not contain a separator gel, so it may not provide the necessary sample quality for accurate BMP results.
