A Chem 12 test, also known as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), measures various substances in the blood to assess overall health and metabolic function. It typically includes tests for glucose, electrolytes, kidney and liver function, proteins, and more. The results can help diagnose conditions such as Diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disorders, as well as provide insights into a person's nutritional status and metabolic processes.
A gold or red/gray-stoppered tube is typically used for a Chem 12 blood test.

A Chem-7 lab test is used to evaluate a patient's kidney function and electrolyte levels. It measures levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and glucose in the blood.
The recommended tube for a Chem 7 test is either a red-top tube with no anticoagulant, or a serum separator tube (SST) to collect a serum sample for the chemical analysis.
Yes, It will show up on a swab test for at least 12 days!
