Specimen containers are sterile, translucent containers that are used to collect, store and transport the specimen. They usually have labels on them to write the patient's name, doctor's name, date, and room number. A specimen is a sample of blood or body fluid that is taken to perform some medical tests. Therefore, specimen containers play an important role in specimen procurement and handling. A safely stored sample helps in obtaining a valid and correct laboratory test result. Accordingly, the specimen must be collected, labeled, handled, and transport properly for effective diagnosis specimen containers are of any number, shape, and size for collecting urine, stool, mucus, or other bodily fluids. Fluids are typically collected for testing at in-house or outside facilities such as a third-party hospital test site or a sterile testing room.
There are mainly two types of specimen containers are used that is blood collection containers and urine collection containers. Blood is usually drawn and collected in order to perform a variety of laboratory tests. Specimen are often sent to help diagnose any medical conditions. Different types of specimen tubes are used for collecting the blood the wrong tube may cause the rejection of the specimen by the laboratory. Blood collection tubes are come with a variety of colored stopper caps and may contain additives. Red top, this tube contains no additives. It is used for a variety of tests including blood typing and cross-matching. Tiger top tubes contain polymer gel and clot activator. Commonly used for blood chemistries. Lavender tops, these tubes are used primarily for obtaining complete blood counts. They contain EDTA an anticoagulant additive that chelates calcium. Green top tubes contain the anticoagulant heparin and are often used to obtain lithium and ammonia levels. Light blue top tubes contain sodium citrate an agent that removes calcium and is used to obtain pro-time and prothrombin. Light grey top, these specimen tubes contain sodium fluoride and potassium oxalates, antiglycolytic agents that preserve glucose for up to five days.
