Each test has a specific color tube.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
The correct color tube for a thrombin test is typically a light blue tube. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which is needed for coagulation studies.
The tube top color for an acid phosphatase blood test is lavender.
A red-top tube is typically used for collecting blood for a Chem 7 test. The tube contains a gel separator that separates the serum from the blood cells after centrifugation, making it suitable for chemistry tests.
A clear or transparent test tube is typically used for a lipid test to easily observe any color changes or reactions that occur during the test.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
tube color for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone test is the gold tube for chemistry testing.
A pregnancy test is drawn in an SST gold Chemistry.
Gray tube
green for chemistry
SST tube (yellow color)
