Estradiol is typically collected using a lavender-top tube for plasma or a red-top tube for serum. The lavender-top tube contains the anticoagulant EDTA, while the red-top tube allows the blood to clot before processing. The specific color tube may depend on the laboratory's standard operating procedures.
The recommended color tube for rubella serology testing is a red or tiger-top tube with gel separator. This allows for serum separation, which is needed for the test.
The standard color for a serum lithium trough tube is red. It is important to make sure to use the correct tube color to avoid any potential errors in the testing process.
You could use a Red/Gray SST tube, or you could use a Green sodium heparin tube.
The color tube used for Homocysteine testing is typically lavender or purple. This is because it requires an EDTA anticoagulant to preserve the sample.
A light blue tube is typically used for a prothrombin time (PT) test.
