What else can I help you with?
What tube would you draw a APPT in?
red tiger top
What tube is used to draw a BMP lab?
A tiger top tube ( the one that has serum at the bottom)
Is a gel tube the same as a sst tube?
A gel tube and an SST (Serum Separator Tube) are often used interchangeably, as they both contain a gel that separates serum from blood cells during centrifugation. However, SST tubes specifically refer to a type of gel tube designed for serum collection, typically containing a clot activator. While all SST tubes are gel tubes, not all gel tubes may be SSTs, as some may be used for different types of tests. Always check the specific lab requirements for the type of tube needed.
What tube to use for fbs?
For a fasting blood sample (FBS), a serum separator tube (SST) or a plain red-top tube is commonly used. These tubes allow the blood to clot and facilitate the separation of serum after centrifugation. It's important to ensure that the sample is collected after an appropriate fasting period, typically 8-12 hours, for accurate glucose measurement.
When using a wing tip the order of draw for a CBC Ptt and chemistry panel is lite blue SST and lavender do you need a clearing tube first?
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.
What Color tube top for HIV test?
Either an SST or Red-top tube.
What is the color of the tube used for the c-reactive protein test?
The tube used for the c-reactive protein test is typically a lavender or purple-colored tube.
What is a sst tube color?
A SST (serum separator tube) typically has a gold or tiger top color, which indicates that it contains a gel separator to separate serum from blood cells during centrifugation. This type of tube is commonly used for collecting blood samples for various laboratory tests.
What color tube do you use to collect bmp?
A serum separator tube (SST) with a red or gold stopper is typically used to collect a basic metabolic panel (BMP). This type of tube allows for the separation of serum from the blood cells after centrifugation, which is important for accurate results in BMP testing.
What color tube do you collect a fbs in?
FBS (fetal bovine serum) is typically collected in a red-top tube or a serum separator tube (SST) with a red-gray or gold-red-colored cap. Once collected, the tube is centrifuged to separate the serum from the blood cells.
What color test tube is TSH?
There are several tests done for thyroid function. They require different tubes.
What does the medical abbreviation SST mean?
SST stands for serum separator tube, the typical marble top tube used to collect many blood samples.
What color tube is used for the uric acid test?
A green or lavender top tube can be used for a uric acid test.
What color tube is used in a comprehensive metabolic panel?
Green top tube ( lithium or sodium heparin) for plasma CMP; or Red top/SST for CMP, serum
What type of tube is used for a CMP blood test?
A red-top tube without any anticoagulants is typically used for a CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) blood test. This tube allows for the blood sample to clot, facilitating the separation of serum for analysis.
What does the SST top tube contain?
The Sulfur content in a steel (SST) top tube contributes to its strength and hardness, making it a durable material for bike frames. It helps improve the tube's resistance to impact and fatigue, ensuring a longer lifespan for the frame.
What does the sst top tube contain plasma or serum after processing?
The sst top tube typically contains serum after processing because the clot activator in the tube separates the serum from the blood cells. Plasma is obtained from tubes with anticoagulants that prevent clot formation.
