What color vacutainer tubes would you use for hematology testing?
Lavender-top tubes (containing EDTA as an anticoagulant) are generally used for hematology testing to prevent coagulation and preserve cell morphology.
Why are the stoppers of vacutainer tubes color coded?
The stoppers of vacutainer tubes are color-coded to indicate the type of additive or anticoagulant in the tube. This helps healthcare professionals select the appropriate tube for specific blood tests, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
When drawing blood by the Vacationer method it is important to fill the tubes in the recommended order. which tube would be filled first?

What order to collect CBC type and screen RPR and basic metabolic panel what tubes types do you collect and in what order?
Phlebotomy is the department of medicine that is responsible for blood draws and using the right tubes to send blood off for testing. The Lavender tube is used for a CBC test, the RPR test is the red/gold tube and the basic metabolic test is also in the red gold tube.
What phlebotomy tubes do not get spun in the centrifuge?
Gray top tubes with sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate additive should not be spun in the centrifuge as it can alter test results by causing hemolysis. These tubes are usually used for glucose testing and need to be kept upright to prevent mixing with cells.

The Association of Phlebotomy Technicians (ASPT) follows a similar order with minor variations depending on the institution's protocol. It's important to follow the specific guidelines of the facility where you are working to ensure accuracy and prevent sample contamination.

What is the proper order of draw for a syringe method?
The proper order of draw for a syringe method is: Blood culture tubes Coagulation tubes Serum tubes Heparin tubes EDTA tubes Glycolysis inhibitor tubes
What was the first generations of computers?
