Sodium Citrate Tube Color? Ratio? Department? Tests? How does it work? Coagulation? |
Light Blue tube 9:1 Coagulation Department PT,PTT,D-Dimer,Fibrogen, Protien C, Protien 5, Anti-Thrombin, Lupus Anticoagulant Binds with Ca. Tests are run off the plasma Anticoagulant |
|
|
Red Tube Additive? How Does it work? Tests? Clotting Time? Coagulation? |
Technically no additive (but has silicone coating if plastic to mimic the glass) The glass or silcone makes the blood clot 60 minutes Serum Drugs, Infectious diseases |
|
|
EDTA Most common tube color? Other tube colors? Department? coagulant or anticoagulant? Tests commonly run? How does the EDTA work? |
most common tube: Lavendar Other tubes: royal blue, pink, white, tan Department: Hemotology anticoagulant Tests: CBC, Reticulocyte, Erythrocyte, Sedimate Rate, Differentials HIV How does it work: prevents coagulation by binding with Ca in the form of potassium or sodium salts. Its the choice for hemotology because it preserves cell morphology and inhibits platelet clumping. |
|
|
Additive SPS ( Sodium Polyethosulfate) Tube color: Department: Tests: How does it work? order of draw? coagulant or anticoagulant |
Yellow Tube Microbiology Tests: Blood Cultures How does it work: neutralizes the effects of bacterial growth inhibitors such as antibiotics First! *When a blood culture is ordered along with coagulation tests this tube replaces the discard tube in order of draw (it goes in front of a light blue) anticoagulant |
|
|
Addititve ACD ( Acide Citrate Dextrose) Tube color: Tests Department How does it work? coagulant or anticoagulant
|
Yellow Cellular Studies HLA Lab, Blood Bank Maintains red blood cells viability or growth the dextrose acts like a nutrient. Cellular study (human antigen typing). Binds with Ca. *can be used for certain immunohematology test like pertunity and transplant capability anticoagulant |
|
|
Sodium, Lithium, Ammonium Heprin Anticoagulant or coagulant tube color plasma or serum tests: How does it work? Department Other tube colors STATS |
Anticoagulant Dark - regular green Plasma Tests molecular diagnostics How it works: Stops coagulation by inactivating thrombin. Doesnt allow prothrombin to convert to thrombin Department: Perfect for plasma Chemistry Other Tube colors: Royal Blue * Often used for STATS |
|
|
Lithium Heprin Whats is the plasma seperator? What Department? Tube color? How does it work? Most often used for what? plasma or serum? anticoagulant or coagulant? |
Plasma Seperator: Thixotropic gel ( test requiring plasma ) Department:Chemistry Light Green How does it work: Stops the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin Most often used for: SATs!! The seperator gel makes the process a lot quicker Plasma Anticoagulant |
|
|
SST what does it stand for? anticoagulant or coagulant? whats is the seperator? tests: Department: tube color? How does it work? plasma or serum |
Stands for Serum Seperator Tube Coagulant Seperator: Thixotropic gel Tests: Cereal box stuff, hormones, lipids, enzymes, protiens, electrolytes Department: Chemistry gold, or speckled how does it work: serum seperator helps prevent chemical changes caused by cellular metabolism and fibrinolysis (dissolving of the clott) by getting inbetween the two during centrifugion. Serum |
|
|
Potassium Oxalate, Sodium Fluoride Tube color? Which one is which? Tests: Anticoagulant or coagulant: Department: How does it work? Plasma or Serum? |
Tube: gray Potassium oxalate: Anticoagulant ( that binds with Ca) Sodium Fluoride:Antiglycolytic ( is a glucose perservative) glycolytic inhibitor, preventing the red blood cells from using glucose and changing it into lactic acid Tests: alcohol, glucose and lactate Anticoagulant Chemistry Plasma |
|
|
Pink Tube Additive test department anticoagulant or coagulant plasma or serum How does it work? |
EDTA Tests: blood typing,donor testing, cross matching, prep trasnfusion Blood Bank Anticoagulant plasma Binds with Ca to prevent coagulation from occuring |
|
|
Tan Tube Additive: Test: Department: Anticoagulant or coagulant |
additive:EDTA Test: Lead Department: Chemistry Anticoagulant |
|
|
White Tube Additive Test Department Anticoagulant or coagulant |
EDTA DNA based Molecular Diagnostics Anticoaguant **** HAS A SEPERATOR GEL!!! |
|
|
Royal Blue Additives: Department: Tests: |
EDTA, Heprin Chemistry Trace elements When no additive it clots ( it can do both) |
|
|
Orange Additive: Tests: Department: Anticoagulant or coagulant |
Thrombin + Thixotropic gel STATS (clots in 5 minutes or less Chemistry Coagulant |
|
|
