|
|
|
Heparin
|

|
3 Different Types of Green
Heparin- Inhibits Thrombin Amonium/Lithium/Sodium Chemistry Testing (all Three) Sodium Heparin used for ONLY Lithium Testing |
|
|
Sodium Heparin
|
Cannot be used for all chemistries because of the sodium. it is only used for Lithium Testing
|
|
|
Lithium Heparin
|
Anticoagulant and preservative for the enzymes we test in Chemistry with one exception (lithium Testing)
|
|
|
Green Tube Testing
|

|
Microbiology
|
|
|
Yellow FAT tube top
|
Anticoagulant
ACD CPD |
|
|
STAT fasting Glucose
|
Green Tube- but if it gets to the lab and waits a while gets misplaces, or unseen the results are altered because of the breakdown. GREY will preserve due to the ANTIGLYCOLYTIC agent.
|
|
|
Red
|
Clot Activator
It gives us serum (1 of only 2) Imunology (HIV, Hepatitus Panels, Mono, RPR, Syphilis |
|
|
Gold
|
Clot Activator
It gives us Serum ( 1 of only 2) Same as Red except there is gel present) Chemistry Testing |
|
|
Red Tube Department Testing
|
Mainly used for Imunology
Some Chemistries |
|
|
Gold Tube Department Testing
|
Chemistry Testing The majority of Chemistry tests
|
|
|
Green vs. Gold Top since both are Chemistry
|
Gold gives us Serum
Green Gives us Plasma Green is used for STAT testing (we do not have to wait for clotting) |
|
|
Gold Tube- (stat or Not)
|
Routine Testing They come to regional lab because it is non urgent
|
|
|
Royal Blue (dark blue)
|
Trace Element free tubes (aka Metal Free Tubes)
Sterilized in a process to make it metal free. Chemistry Tests- lead, arsenic, aluminum, copper, zinc, mercury |
|
|
Royal Blue Tests
|
lead, Copper, arsenic, aluminum, zinc, mercury
|
|
|
Royal Blue Red Label Additive

K2 it is a small tube test for lead mostly with little kids physicals (and since the royal blue is so big we use it for kids) Chemistry |
|
|
Tan tube testing
|
LEAD only- this is its only purpose
Chemistry it is lead free |
|
|
Gel Separator
|
It seperates the formed elements and the Plasma, and protects the plasma from being effected by the dying cells.
