Question: 1 / 400

For a DARK GREEN tube, what test is typically run, which anticoagulant is used, and to which lab section is it sent?

Cardiac, lithium heparin, chemistry

Stat chemistry, sodium heparin, chemistry

For a DARK GREEN tube, the test typically run is a Stat chemistry test. The anticoagulant used in a dark green tube is sodium heparin. This tube is sent to the chemistry lab section for testing.

Option A (Cardiac, lithium heparin, chemistry) is incorrect because lithium heparin tubes are usually green or mint green, not dark green.

Option C (Coagulation studies, sodium citrate, serology) is incorrect because coagulation studies are typically collected in light blue tubes with sodium citrate as the anticoagulant, not dark green tubes.

Option D (Glucose GTT, potassium oxalate, chemistry) is incorrect because glucose GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) requires a gray tube with potassium oxalate and sodium fluoride as the additive, not a dark green tube.
