What are the different blood test tubes?
Blood Collection Tubes
| Tube cap color | Additive |
|---|---|
| Red or gold (mottled or “tiger” top used with some tubes) | Serum tube with or without clot activator or gel |
| Green | Sodium or lithium heparin with or without gel |
| Lavender or pink | Potassium EDTA |
| Gray | Sodium fluoride, and sodium or potassium oxalate |
What is EDTA blood test?
An EDTA test is used to assess the function of your kidneys through a series of blood tests. EDTA refers to the name of the substance that you will receive by injection. EDTA contains a small amount of radioactive material. This allows it to act as a tracer which will show the kidney function.

What is CAP disease?
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Typical bacterial pathogens that cause CAP include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis (see images below).
Is co2 level of 33 bad?
For total CO2 in the blood, the normal range is about 23 to 30 mEq/L [2]. For HCO3- in the blood, the normal range is about 22 to 26 mEq/L [7]. For pCO2 in the arteries, the normal range is about 35 to 45 mmHg [7]. However, these ranges can vary depending on many factors, such as [1]:
What Tube is CBC?
The following tests may be drawn in the same LAVENDER (PURPLE) top tube: CBC, SED RATE (ESR), RETICULOCYTE Draw an extra LAVENDER for each (GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN and BNP). 9. GLUCOSE is always drawn in a GRAY top tube. No additional test may be drawn with this tube.

What does HbA1c mean in a blood test?
A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
Why is ferritin test done?
Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body’s iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
What does a red stopper on a blood test mean?
A red or gold blood collection tube stopper indicates the presence of a clot activator, and centrifugation produces serum. The lab tests include chemistry, serology and immunology. A grey stopper indicates lab tests for glucose, blood alcohol and lactic acid.
What do the colors on blood collection tubes mean?
The cap colors on blood collection tubes tell technicians the tube additives, additive functions and the laboratory tests required. Some collection tubes contain clot activators, which produce serum samples when spun in centrifuges. Other tubes contain anticoagulants, which produce whole blood without a centrifuge and plasma with a centrifuge.
What do you need to know about the ImmunoCAP blood test?
The ImmunoCAP blood test measures IgE in the blood that is made by specific allergies. It is often used to confirm a diagnosis of a medical allergy, but can be performed on several hundred known allergies from pet dander to pollen to food and everything in-between to confirm a diagnosis.
What kind of tube is used for anticoagulant blood test?
Performing an anticoagulant blood test requires a different type of tube, one that don’t contain a clot activator. Instead, it contains an additive that binds to calcium ions, inhibiting the proteins that lead to coagulation of blood specimens. Some of the tubes used are those with light blue, green, gray, dark blue and lavender or pink stoppers.
