A lavender or purple tube top is typically used for the Sedimentation Rate (sed rate) test as it contains the anticoagulant EDTA needed for the test.

A lavender top tube is typically used to draw an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test.
A lavender-top tube is typically used for an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate) blood test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a test tube in one hour. The more red cells that settle to the bottom of the test tube within the hour, the higher the sed rate. The sedimentation rate indicates that there is inflammation somewhere in the system.
The most common tube used to perform a sedimentation rate test is a lavender-top tube, which contains an anticoagulant called EDTA. This tube is used to collect whole blood for testing the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over a specific period of time.
The recommended tube for an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test is a lavender-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA. This tube is used to collect whole blood for analysis of the rate at which red blood cells settle in a specific period of time.
The tube top used to collect blood for sedimentation rate testing is typically a lavender/purple top tube. This tube contains the anticoagulant EDTA to prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube over a certain period of time, which can indicate the presence of inflammation in the body.
This test is likely the sedimentation rate test, where anticoagulant is added to a venous blood sample and it is placed in a tube to measure how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom. This test can help indicate inflammation or infection in the body based on the rate of sedimentation.

Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) Westergren methodAn ESR of 4o indicates that you have an elevated sedimentation rate. this indicates that you have a problem with inflammation. it does not however indicate what the cause of the inflammation is.The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimeters per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children.A sedimentation rate is blood test that can detect and monitors inflammation in the body.It is a measurement of the red blood cells (erythrocytes) settling in a tube over a given period of time. this test is referred to as an ESR.Red blood cells settle in the bottom of the test tube given time leaving leaving the blood serum visible above. The sedimentation rate is simply how far the top of the RBC layer has fallen (in millimeters) in one hour. The sedimentation rate increases with more inflammation.
