KAYO RED-TOP TUBE
(no additive)
KAYO(R)
Used for serum testing.
Tests include basic metabolic panel (BMP), liver function tests (LFTs), lipid profile, hormone assays, and serology.
KAYO LAVENDER/PURPLE-TOP TUBE (EDTA additive):
Contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), an anticoagulant that binds calcium and prevents blood clotting by inhibiting coagulation factors.
Used for complete blood count (CBC), blood typing, and certain hematology tests.
KAYO GREEN-TOP TUBE
(Heparin additive):
Contains heparin, an anticoagulant that inhibits thrombin formation and prolongs clotting time.
Used for plasma determinations in chemistry (e.g., ammonia, electrolytes, and arterial blood gases), therapeutic drug monitoring (e.g., lithium), and some special chemistry assays.
KAYO GREY-TOP TUBE
(Glucose preservative):
KAYO(R)
Contains sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate or other preservatives.

Contains a gel barrier and clot activator.
KAYO BLUE-TOP TUBE
(Sodium Citrate additive):
KAYO(R)
Contains sodium citrate, an anticoagulant that binds calcium and prevents blood clotting by inhibiting coagulation factors.
Used for coagulation studies, such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and coagulation factor assays.
KAYO BLACK-TOP TUBE
(Glucose preservative):
KAYO(R)
Contains sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate or other preservatives.
Used for glucose testing, as the preservatives stabilize glucose levels in the blood sample.
