Another way to remember your order of tubes is: 1. You= yellow 2. Bring= Light Blue 3. Really= Red-SST 4. Good= Green 5. Lollipops= Lavender 6. Girl= Gray I read the comments and understand I have missed some tubes, this is just a standard order of draw. Depending on the doctors office you will only use a SST and Lavender maybe a red, unless a doctor wants to check the patients INR which would be a light blue. That is based on my experience. Once you know the standard order of draw every other tube and blood culture will fall into place as well. Also this comment was from two years ago, in the state of TN they have changed some of our SSTs to gold. Good luck everyone and happy sticking :)

There appear to be some errors in your video. The polymer "gel" is NOT responsible for accelerating clotting. It actually just serves as a barrier device ("separator") between the serum and the cells upon centrifugation; this barrier effect inhibits glycolysis. The additive which assists in clotting is a silica spray - it is not an accelerator, but an activator of clotting (such that it helps the blood form a complete clot). A clot accelerator would be thrombin (orange top tube = RST). Further, the PST tubes do not contain fibrinogen. If this were the case, the PST tube would clot and you wouldn't yield plasma. A PST tube is simply a tube with polymer gel and an anticoagulant (usually heparin). If you are referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not, then I think you may want to be more clear on that. Also, I am not sure why you mention royal blue coming after the ACD tube. Royal blue tubes - at least the ones that I have worked with - either contain EDTA or Silica spray. Where the royal blue fits into order of draw would depend on which tube you have - EDTA or silica.
@PhlebotomySolutions6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment. Here is my response. 1. Compared to SST, RST is considered an accelerator or faster (2.49 min vs. 19.47 min, respectively; P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the RST and SST II tubes for glucose, calcium, and LD (P < 0.001). Differences for glucose and LD were also clinically significant. Analyte stability studies showed that all analytes were stable for 24 h at 4 °C. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4210257/ SST is a clot activator and substance that enhances coagulation and clots within 15 to 30 minutes as compared to other test tubes. It can be considered an accelerator. 2. There is only one kind of PST tube. It has a mint green stopper. This tube is only used on patients who are in the hospital. This tube contains lithium heparin to keep the blood from clotting and has a gel plasma separator. This tube is used to obtain whole blood, plasma. To ensure that the blood does not clot, the tube must be inverted eight times following blood collection. This tube is used for therapeutic drug monitoring and general chemistries. Because the PST™ tube contains lithium, it cannot be used to test a patient’s lithium level. (Phlebotomy Training Group) 3. I was referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not. I made that distinction in the video. 4. Royal blue is followed in the order of draw set by CLSI Standards.

Love your video great information 👍🏼👍🏼
@PhlebotomySolutions4 жыл бұрын
Karina Venegas The order of draw does not change based on CLSI standards. The order is based on the additives and not really the tube colors. The Gold or culture tubes or bottles are always first. The red/gray or SST tube can go before the red non-additive tube. The Royal blue is after the gray tube. It’s the light blue tube with Sodium Citrate that is used after the gold or cultures.

The only reason red would go before light blue is if you were drawing with a butterfly needle. There is air in the butterfly tubing that needs to be filled before using the light blue. With the syringe that is not the case when you transfer the blood. The order of draw remains the same.

Hello, thank you for the question. If you are in a hospital setting then you will be using a green top tube for all chemistry tests which includes a BMP and CMP. For transporting blood to a lab like Labcorp does then they will use a SST tube to collect the blood and process it for transporting. I know this because I was a Labcorp supervisor for 2 years. You may use a red top non-additive tube but the blood will be transferred to another tube with Heparin for testing. For the test you will need to know the standard order of draw that is listed in this video and set by CLSI. I hope this helps you. Thank you.

According to CLSI and most up-to-date phlebotomy texts, the royal blue containing EDTA is drawn along with the other tubes containing EDTA - these are before the grey top tubes (which usually contain KOxalate and NaFl). You may have a royal blue that contains silica spray - if this is the case, the label on the tube will say "serum" and this tube should be drawn along with the other serum tubes. Also, above, you state that the red top tube contains "no additive." This is misleading. Most red top tubes contain a silica spray (like most other tubes that yield serum). You can, of course, order a red top with no additive whatsoever and the label in this case will say "NO ADDITIVE." If you did have a true "no additive" tube, you can draw this before the light blue. But, as I said, most red tops will contain a silica spray and should NOT be drawn before the light blue.

In school they say there takeing out the pink tube . There no longer useing it.?
@PhlebotomySolutions6 жыл бұрын
Michael JonesDougherty. To my knowledge the pink tube is still being used for blood bank. It contains the same additive as the lavender, EDTA, and is still being used by hospitals.

Thanks for sharing. Why didn't you add the pink top tube in the memory jogger?
@PhlebotomySolutions4 жыл бұрын
Amanda Darling The CLSI standard order of draw is what is required. The pink is EDTA for blood bank and is not part of the “rainbow” draw.

Which ones are on iice? Lactate and calcium citrate? I'm not sure.
@PhlebotomySolutions6 ай бұрын
In blood draws, certain samples may need to be put on ice to preserve their integrity. These samples typically include tests that require cold storage, such as lactate, ammonia, and certain enzymes. Placing the blood samples on ice helps maintain their stability and prevents any degradation or changes in the composition of the sample.

Which antiseptic is recommended for blood-alcohol testing? I keep getting conflicting info and I trust you.
@PhlebotomySolutions5 жыл бұрын
The hospitals and labs should only be cleaning the site with soap and water. NO antiseptic should be used. All of them contain some kind of chemical or alcohol that can contaminate the test. This is also recommended by CLSI.

I was liking the video until I heard you say you use a green sodium heparin tube to run a CMP. That would interfere with the sodium level on the CMP and now I'm questioning everything being said. You need to use the mint green lithium Heparin tube to run a CMP.
@PhlebotomySolutions6 ай бұрын
The green top tube with sodium heparin additive does not contain sodium ions that could interfere with the sodium level measurement in a CMP. The sodium heparin additive is used to prevent blood clotting by inhibiting the action of thrombin, but it does not affect the measurement of sodium or other electrolytes in the blood. Therefore, it is safe to use the green sodium heparin tube for running a CMP.
