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.
A light blue tube is typically used for a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting during the test.
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.
The light blue tube is typically used for PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) blood test in phlebotomy. It contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting for accurate testing of blood coagulation.
Light blue tubes are used for PTT (partial thromboplastin time) testing. These tubes contain sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which helps prevent blood from clotting during the test.
light blue top tube
A light blue-top tube is commonly used for partial thromboplastin time (PTT) testing, as it contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
Pink could be a great choice for a PTT (Pectoralis major trigger point) examination to create a contrast against the skin and help highlight any tender areas or trigger points.
Gray tube
The correct color tube for a thrombin test is typically a light blue tube. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which is needed for coagulation studies.
SST tube (yellow color)
blood test are done to find out if you are having a heparin overdose.
