HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.
The correct color tube for a thrombin test is typically a light blue tube. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, which is needed for coagulation studies.
The tube top color for an acid phosphatase blood test is lavender.
A clear or transparent test tube is typically used for a lipid test to easily observe any color changes or reactions that occur during the test.
A gold or yellow test tube is commonly used for ferritin testing.
HbA1C test tubes are typically light purple in color, signifying that the blood sample is for a chemistry test.

A clear or transparent test tube is typically used for a lipid test to easily observe any color changes or reactions that occur during the test.
A gold or yellow test tube is commonly used for ferritin testing.
A red tube with no anticoagulant is typically used for an AFP test.
A clear or colorless test tube is typically used when performing a sodium test to accurately observe the color changes in the solution. If a colored test tube is used, it may interfere with the interpretation of the results.
The color tube that may be used for a lipid panel test is typically a red or gold/tiger top tube. However, it's essential to check the specific requirements of the laboratory where the test will be conducted, as tube color conventions can vary.
