100
Whole blood – Lavender top tube Detects hematology related diseases.
What is CBC (Complete Blood Count)
100
Uses heparinized syringe
What is Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
200
Light blue top tube DIC and thrombotic episodes such as pulmonary emboli

What is BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide)
200
Chronic Inflammation Serum – red top Plasma Green
What is CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
200
Whole blood lavender top tube Anemia
What is RBC (Red Blood Count)
200
Inoculate two blood culture bottles Require anaerobic and aerobic from two different sites
What is a Blood Culture

300
Serum gel-barrier tube. Wrap in foil to protect from light
What is Bilirubin total and direct Spin and separate within 45 minutes (Refrigerate)

Typically performed on a stool specimen to detect intestinal parasites and their eggs.
What is O&P (Ova and Parasite Test)
400
Antiglycolytic agent (substance that inhibits or prevents glycolysis by the cells of the blood) Used for alcohol determinations and glucose tests.
What is NaF (Sodium Fluoride) 1. Alcohol values are stable because glycolysis (the metabolism of glucose or sugar in the form of alcohol) is prevented. 2. NaF inhibits growth of bacteria and protects the specimen from an increase in alcohol resulting from fermentation by bacteria.
