- 1—Yellow:
Additive: SPS--- Sodium Polyanetholsulfonate (poly-anethol-sulfonate)
What additive does: Prevents the blood from clotting and stabilizes bacterial growth.
Laboratory Uses: Blood and bodily fluid cultures - 2—Blood Cultures collected for Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO)
Additive: Culture Medium
Aerobic collected first
Anaerobic collected second
Site must be cleaned 2 times, once with alcohol and once with iodine
Collect 8-10 ml per bottle
3-4 ml per bottle for children
Invert bottles 8-10 times
- 3—Light Blue:
Additive: Sodium Citrate
(Fill tube completely for 9:1 ratio blood to Sodium Citrate, cannot collect capillary blood in this tube- venipuncture only.)
What additive does: Removes calcium to prevent blood from clotting
Laboratory uses: Coagulation (clotting process)
Different testing: PT
- 4—Additive: None
What additive does: None
Laboratory Uses: Serum testing; chemistry studies, blood bank, serology
Different Testing: RH Typing, Antibody screening
- 5—Gold tube and tiger tops are drawn together either order.
Additive: Polymer Gel and clot activator
- 6—Additive: None, but contains silica particles to enhance clot formation
What additive does: speeds clotting process
Laboratory Uses: Serum testing
Different Testing: BMP, CMP, Lipid panel (cholesterol), CA125, HCG Quantitative, HIV, Iron, PSA, routine Electrolytes TSH
Invert 5-6 times
- 7—Dark Green
Additive: Heparin(Sodium)
What additive does: Inhibits thrombin formation to prevent clotting
Laboratory uses: Chemistry Testing
Stat Electrolyte levels (does not require clotting and spinning time)
Different testing: Plasma determinations in chemistry
Invert 8-10 times
- 8—Light Green:
Additive: Lithium Heparin and gel
What additive does: Aids in the separation of plasma
Laboratory uses: Plasma determinations in chemistry studies
Invert 8-10 times
- 9—Marbled Green:
Additive: Ammonium Heparin
Laboratory uses: chemistry studies
Invert 8-10 times
- 10—Lavender:
Additives: EDTA--- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid( Ethylen-ediamine-tetra-acetic Acid) (say-it-slow ;) )
What additive does: Removes calcium preventing clotting of blood
Laboratory uses: Hematology testing
Different testing: ESR, CBC w/diff., HgBA1c
Invert 8-10 times
- 11—Gray:
Additives: Potassium oxalate and Sodium fluoride
What additive does: Removes calcium preventing clotting, fluoride inhibits glycolysis
Laboratory uses: Chemistry testing, especially glucose(sugar) and alcohol
Different testing: Glucose, Blood Alcohol level (do not use alcohol to clean the site for alcohol testing and do not remove lid of tube or alcohol evaporates), GTT, Glucose fasting
- 12—Royal Blue:
Additives: Sodium Heparin also Sodium EDTA
What additive does: Inhibits Thrombin formation to prevent clotting
Laboratory uses: Chemistry trace elements
Different testing: Trace elements of metals such as Zinc, Copper, Lead and Mercury
Invert 8-10 times
