Yes, when using a winged infusion set (wing tip), it is recommended to use a clearing tube before drawing a light blue (sodium citrate) tube, SST (serum separator tube), and lavender (EDTA) tube. The clearing tube, typically a non-additive tube, helps to prevent contamination from the winged set and ensures accurate test results. This practice is essential for maintaining the integrity of the samples for coagulation and hematology tests.
The color tube you use when drawing blood for a lab test depends on the type of test you are running. For a Na blood test you would use a red tiger strip tube.
Red test tubes are typically used for the blood type Rh factor test.
Black top (sodium citrate tube) or light blue tube. They both contain sodium citrate. I failed this question on my final, I knew a black top tube is used but it was not given to me as a choice. I did not think hard enough to come to the conclusion that a light blue tube would be another option.
blue
For an albumin test, the recommended blood tube is a red-top tube or a serum separator tube (SST) as it does not contain any anticoagulant, which is necessary for the accurate measurement of albumin levels.
A light blue tube is typically used for a prothrombin time (PT) test.
To obtain serum for a blood test you need to use a tube without any anticoagulant. You use a needle and the tube to draw blood from a persons veins.

A light blue top tube is typically used for Protime blood collection, as it contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
A light blue tube is typically used for hemostasis tests, such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) tests. The light blue top tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to preserve the blood sample for accurate testing.
Lavender CBC is complet blood count
For a blood chemistry test, commonly a lavender-top (EDTA) vacutainer tube is used. These tubes are used to collect whole blood samples for testing electrolytes, metabolites, and other chemical components in the blood.
