A Lytes panel typically requires a green-top tube (containing heparin anticoagulant) for plasma collection. It is important to use the right tube to prevent clotting and ensure accurate test results.
A lavender-top tube is typically used for iron panel tests.
A green-top tube (heparin) is typically used for collecting blood samples for an electrolyte panel.
A red-stoppered tube is typically used to collect a sample for a lipid panel test.
A complete metabolic panel is typically collected in a green or tiger top tube, which contains a gel separator and lithium heparin as an anticoagulant.
