Which color tubes is for electrolytes?
In the NHA book it is written that Green top tube is for STAT electrolytes.
What would be order of draw in syringe system for STAT electrolytes a CBC routine creatinine and protime?
Fill a syringe with the STAT electrolytes first Next, draw the CBC routine tubes Then, collect the sample for creatinine Lastly, draw the tube for protime testing
What is the reason that a lavender top tube should not be drawn prior to drawing electrolytes?
The lavender top tube contains EDTA anticoagulant which can bind to calcium ions, affecting electrolyte results. Drawing a lavender tube before electrolytes can lead to falsely decreased calcium levels and potentially inaccurate electrolyte results. It is recommended to draw the lavender tube after the electrolyte tube to prevent any interference.
What color tube is used for STAT electrolytes?
This depends on the method that the laboratory employs. I assume that you are referring to the color coding system on the tubes that indicates what additives are inside of the tubes. Most laboratories will run most chemistry assays on gold top or SST (Serum Separator Tubes). Other methods for running electrolytes could be in a laboratory that uses an iStat device or something similar that can use whole blood as well as serum.
What color is the tube for electrolytes?
The color of the tube for electrolyte testing is typically green.
Which tube would a phlebotomist use when a Doctor order a test for STAT electrolytes?
Gray tube
Which color tubes is for electrolytes?

What is the reason that the lavender top tube should not be drawn prior to drawing electrolytes?
A false depletion in the electrolytes. The depletion of sodium will not be accurate.

WHAT TUBE CBC DRAWN IN?
The CBC is drawn in a green tube. This is blood testing tubes.
What tube is an ammonia test drawn in?
An ammonia test is typically drawn in a green-top (heparin) tube as the anticoagulant.
What color tube is the PTH drawn into?
The PTH (parathyroid hormone) is typically drawn into a lavender or EDTA tube for testing.
