Ever wondered why blood bottles have different coloured tops?
It isn't just to make them easier to identify. Different blood collection tubes are designed for different types of laboratory testing, and some contain specific additives needed to prepare or preserve the sample.
The correct tube, correct order of draw and accurate identification all play an important part in helping ensure a safe and reliable sample.
π§ͺ Small tubes. A lot of science.
At E&C Phlebotomy Services, we believe helping patients understand what happens during their blood test can make the whole experience a little less daunting.
