Well, honey, the tube for a PSA blood test is typically a lavender top tube. But hey, if you walk into the lab and they hand you a pink polka-dotted tube, you might want to question their fashion choices...or their medical skills. Just saying.
A light blue tube is typically used to collect blood for a coumadin test (PT/INR). This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
There is no blood tested in a urine test.
A lavender-colored bottle is typically used to collect a blood sample for a Full Blood Count (FBC) test, which is also known as a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. This bottle often contains an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during transportation to the laboratory for analysis.
A light blue tube is typically used for a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting during the test.
If a blood test shows that EDTA has clotted, it may indicate improper handling of the blood sample, which could lead to inaccurate test results.
