A gold or red/gray tiger top tube is typically used for a liver panel. This tube contains a gel separator to separate serum from cells after the blood is centrifuged.
A chemistry panel is typically run using a tiger top tube, which includes tests for liver function, kidney function, electrolyte levels, and blood sugar levels. It can also be used for lipid panel testing.

For a thyroid panel, use a serum separator tube (SST) or a plain red-top tube to collect the blood sample. These tubes do not contain any additives and allow the serum to separate from the blood cells after centrifugation, which is required for thyroid testing.
A Lytes panel typically requires a green-top tube (containing heparin anticoagulant) for plasma collection. It is important to use the right tube to prevent clotting and ensure accurate test results.
The top tube used for a hepatic function panel is typically a gold or tiger top tube. These tubes contain a gel separator and clot activator, which help separate serum from the blood cells and promote clotting. They are used to collect blood samples for liver function tests as they preserve the serum for analysis.
Bile duct is the tube which connects liver to the alimentary canal
For iron panel tests, the test tube typically used is a lavender or purple-topped tube. These tubes contain an anticoagulant and are used for collecting whole blood samples for hematology tests including iron panels.
the cadiac enzymes must be drawn in a green top tube or a red top not a lavender i dont knw who put that but they are really stupid
A lavender-top tube is typically used for iron panel tests.
An elevated liver panel means that certain enzymes and proteins that are associated with liver function in the dog are higher than they should be. This tends to indicate liver damage, although it could be due to anything from ingesting a toxic substance to a liver infection to liver cancer.
