A PSA test is typically collected in a lavender-top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
The tube for CA125 blood test is typically a lavender or pink-colored tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
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.
A lavender or light blue tube is typically used for an amylase blood draw as it contains an anticoagulant (lavender tube) or no anticoagulant (light blue tube) needed for the test.
The color of the top tube for HgA1C blood test is lavender. This type of tube contains EDTA as an anticoagulant additive to prevent blood coagulation.

A lavender or light blue tube is typically used for an amylase blood draw as it contains an anticoagulant (lavender tube) or no anticoagulant (light blue tube) needed for the test.
The color of the top tube for HgA1C blood test is lavender. This type of tube contains EDTA as an anticoagulant additive to prevent blood coagulation.
A citrate tube used for blood drawing is usually light blue in color. This tube contains sodium citrate, which is an anticoagulant used for coagulation studies.
The tube color commonly used for collecting blood for electrolyte testing is a green-top tube, which contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant. The green-top tube helps preserve the integrity of the sample for accurate electrolyte measurements.
Gray tube
A lavender-top tube is commonly used for performing a Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) test. This tube contains the anticoagulant EDTA.
Green top tube is used for GFR (glomerular filtration rate) testing, as it contains heparin as an anticoagulant and does not interfere with the test.
The color tube for iron studies is typically a lavender or purple top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA. This type of tube is used to preserve the sample for analysis of iron levels in the blood.
Light blue is typically the color of the tube used for coagulation profiles. It contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during testing.
