∙ 6y agoA lavender/purple top tube is typically used to draw blood for a thyroid panel. It contains an anticoagulant called EDTA, which helps prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
A lavender or purple tube is typically used for TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) blood draw.
For a thyroid panel, use a serum separator tube (SST) or a plain red-top tube to collect the blood sample. These tubes do not contain any additives and allow the serum to separate from the blood cells after centrifugation, which is required for thyroid testing.
A TSH blood draw typically goes into a lavender or purple-top tube containing an EDTA anticoagulant. This tube is used for testing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels as part of thyroid function tests.
The color of the top tube for a BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) blood draw is typically gold or red-gray, depending on the manufacturer. It is important to verify the specific tube color with the healthcare provider or laboratory performing the blood draw to ensure accurate collection.
A gold or red-top vacutainer tube is typically used for a basic metabolic panel (BMP) blood draw.

A gold or red/gray tiger top tube (serum separator tube) is typically used to collect a blood sample for a lipid panel test.
There is no order of draw. A comprehensive metabolic panel is just one tube, an SST or serum separator tube.
What color tube for blood draw for metal
tube color for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone test is the gold tube for chemistry testing.
A thyroid test is typically drawn in a SST (serum separator tube), which is usually gold or red in color. The choice of tube color may vary depending on the laboratory or healthcare facility's standard practices.
For a HgA1c you would need a lavender top tube.
