Study Notes
Blood Tubes and Tests
- Blood tubes are categorized based on the color of the tube and the type of test or department performing the test.
Coagulation Department
- Blue Top tubes contain Sodium Citrate (an anti-coagulant) and are used for tests such as:
- PT (Prothrombin Time)
- aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time)
- D-dimer
- INR (International Normalized Ratio)
Clinical Chemistry/Biochemistry Department
- Gray Top tubes contain Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Oxalate (anti-coagulants) and are used for tests such as:
- Glucose (FBS, RBS, 2HRPP, GTT)
- Lipid
- Liver Functions
- Renal Functions
- Electrolytes
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Amylase
- Cardiac Enzymes (CPK, SGOT, LDH, CKMB)
Hematology Department
- Purple Top tubes contain EDTA (an anti-coagulant) and are used for tests such as:
- CBC/FBC (Complete Blood Count/Fully Automated Blood Count)
- ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
- SCT (Sickle Cell Test)
- HBEP (Hemoglobin Electrophoresis)
- Blood Film/Differential Count
- Blood Type
- Reticulocyte Count
- Malaria Smears
- G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)
Clinical Chemistry/Biochemistry and Immunology Departments
- Green Top tubes contain Lithium or Sodium Heparin (anti-coagulants) and are used for a wide range of tests, including:
- Lipid
- Liver Functions
- Renal Functions
- Electrolytes
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Amylase
- Cardiac Enzymes (CPK, SGOT, LDH, CKMB)
- Iron
- TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)
- TFT (Thyroid Function Tests)
- PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
- CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
- CA125, CA153, CA199
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
- Prolactin
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Estradiol
- Insulin
- PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
- HGH (Human Growth Hormone)
- BHCG (Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
- Ferritin
- B12
- Folate
Immunology Department
- Red/Yellow Top tubes contain no anti-coagulant and are used for tests such as:
- HIV
- VDRL (Veneral Disease Research Laboratory)
- HEP A, B, C
- Dengue
- H-Pylori
- Troponin
- CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
- RF (Rheumatoid Factor)
