A gold-top tube with a gel separator is typically used to collect a Chem 8 (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) test.
The recommended tube for a Chem 7 test is either a red-top tube with no anticoagulant, or a serum separator tube (SST) to collect a serum sample for the chemical analysis.
A gold or red/gray-stoppered tube is typically used for a Chem 12 blood test.
The Chem 7 test is collected in a red-top tube. This tube contains no anticoagulant and allows for the blood sample to clot, which is necessary for obtaining serum for testing.
For A1c testing, you would typically collect blood in a lavender/purple-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA. This tube is used for tests that require whole blood or plasma.
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 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 red-top tube is typically used for chem-7 blood testing, as it does not contain any anticoagulant or preservative, allowing the blood to clot prior to analysis.
A yellow-top tube is typically used for collecting blood for a Chem 8 (Basic Metabolic Panel) test. The yellow-top tube contains a gel separator and clot activator that are essential for processing the blood sample.
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.
Typically, a lavender or blue-top tube is used to collect samples for CRP (C-reactive protein) testing.
Glucose Tolerance Test....not sure what tube you would collect it with....maybe a yellow top....
