Prevents coagulation by precipitating calcium.

Do not use to collect sodium specimens or electrolyte panels b/c sodium is apart of the panel. Do not use when testing for lithium levels Lithium heparin (causes the least interference in chem tests) Types of Heparin used and when not to use each heparin?Дў.

Heparinized plasma is often used for chemistry tests, espically stat tests and in other rapid response situations when a fast turnaround time (TAT) is needed.

Prevents clotting by inhibiting thrombin formation.

Royal blue-top tubes with green color coding on the label

Used for blood bank studies, HLA phenotyping, DNA and paternity.Д¤.

Coagulation test are performed on plasma.

Must have a 9:1 ratio of blood to anticoagulant or will be rejected.

Most common citrate is Sodium Citrate which is used for coagulation tests.

Must be mixed immediately to prevent clotting.

Primarily used to provide whole-blood specimens for hematology tests b/c it preserves cell morphology and inhibits platelet aggregation better than other anti-coagulants.

Royal blue-top tubes with lavender color-coding on the label Pearl-top tubes with thixotropic gel separatorДҐ. Pink plastic top tubes with blood bank patient ID labelД¤. Micro collection containers w/ lavender topsДЈ. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)Д®thylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is found in which tubes?Дў. Gray tops are rarely ordered, so lavender is often last.ДЎ. Lavender is drawn last unless a gray top is ordered. G(green) H(heparin) C(chemistry) P(plasma)

Green tubes contain heparin for chemistry tests on plasma: Heparin ends with 'in,' and inhibits starts with 'in.' S(sodium) C(citrate) C(coagulation) L(light) B(blue) P(plasma) Sodium citrate tubes go to coagulation, have light-blue stoppers, and yield plasma.
