    A Lavender tube is used for what test?

    • CBC, ESR

    • SST

    • CMP, BMP

    • Lytes Panel

    Correct Answer
    A. CBC, ESR
    Explanation
    A Lavender tube is used for the CBC (Complete Blood Count) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) tests.

The ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube, which can indicate inflammation or infection in the body.

    Explanation
    Vein C is the basilic vein. The basilic vein is one of the major veins located in the upper limb.

It is commonly used for venipuncture or drawing blood as it is easily accessible and has a relatively straight path.
