Drawing a discard tube before a blue tube in blood collection prevents contamination with tissue fluids or substances that could affect test results. The discard tube helps clear the line of air and ensure that the blood sample collected in the blue tube is free from any potential contaminants.
What else can I help you with?
What color of tube is used for an amylase draw?
A lavender or light blue tube is typically used for an amylase blood draw as it contains an anticoagulant (lavender tube) or no anticoagulant (light blue tube) needed for the test.
What color tube to draw a protime?
A blue-top tube (sodium citrate) is typically used to collect blood samples for Prothrombin Time (PT) testing.
What color tube is used to draw protime?
A light blue tube is typically used to draw blood for a prothrombin time (PT) test. This tube contains sodium citrate as the anticoagulant, which helps preserve the blood sample for accurate testing.
What color tube will you draw a Aptt?
A blue-top tube (citrate tube) is used for collecting blood samples for the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test.
What color top for a ptt lab draw?
For a PTT lab draw, a light blue top tube is typically used. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting during the test.
What color of tube is used for an amylase draw?
A lavender or light blue tube is typically used for an amylase blood draw as it contains an anticoagulant (lavender tube) or no anticoagulant (light blue tube) needed for the test.
When delivering blood samples to a laboratory they should always be transported inside?
There are many blood sample tubes. The most basic one would be the Red top tube (red top blood sample tube). Or the Light Blue coagulation tube - NOTE: If coag tests only are ordered AND you are using a butterfly, draw a discard tube to collect the air in the tubing. Failure to do so will result in a short draw which will be rejected by the lab. The blood samples can be delivered to the lab in these (tube) containers.
WHAT TUBE DRAW PRO TIME?
Color tubes are what draws pro time. The tube is the color light blue.
What tube would you draw an Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time in?
Light blue
What color tube to draw a protime?
A blue-top tube (sodium citrate) is typically used to collect blood samples for Prothrombin Time (PT) testing.
What color of tubes is used for PT and PTT blood draw?
light blue top tube
What color tube is used to draw protime?
A light blue tube is typically used to draw blood for a prothrombin time (PT) test. This tube contains sodium citrate as the anticoagulant, which helps preserve the blood sample for accurate testing.

What is draw tube?
draw tube holds the eyepiece or the ocular
What tube is used to draw a blood chemistry?
A serum tube, typically a red-top tube, is used to draw blood for a chemistry panel. It is important to allow the blood to clot before centrifuging to separate the serum for testing.
Which tube is used to draw blood for protime?
A light blue top tube, containing sodium citrate, is typically used to draw blood for a prothrombin time (PT) test. The sodium citrate helps prevent blood from clotting by binding to calcium in the sample, enabling accurate assessment of blood clotting time.
