I remember it as You Like Really Good Looking Guys (yellow, light blue, red, green, lavender, gray)
Thank you very helpful
That was helpful
I like that one😁
I like this analogy. I start class next month. Thanks for sharing 👍
that's a good one Kamai!! way to go!! but I don't think I would need this as a cardiologist I will have my wonderful nurses do that haha
Another way to remember your order of tubes is:
1. You= yellow
2. Bring= Light Blue
3. Really= Red-SST
4. Good= Green
5. Lollipops= Lavender
6. Girl= Gray
I read the comments and understand I have missed some tubes, this is just a standard order of draw. Depending on the doctors office you will only use a SST and Lavender maybe a red, unless a doctor wants to check the patients INR which would be a light blue. That is based on my experience. Once you know the standard order of draw every other tube and blood culture will fall into place as well. Also this comment was from two years ago, in the state of TN they have changed some of our SSTs to gold. Good luck everyone and happy sticking :)
I appreciate this so much!!!!!!
Jamaican gyal yes of course! Good luck 💕
Thanks so much
Gopaul Jairam you’re welcome :)
Adrienne Walton thank you.
This video is AWESOME! it goes into all the details you need about Order of draw, what additives are in them, what department they go to, and what tests they are used for. All of this will help you to figure out the best answer to questions about specimen collection tubes when taking your NHA Phlebotomy exam!! I passed my exam today with a 424!!
Adrinah Thank you for the comment. And congratulations on passing! 🎉
I take my exam on nov 20 , if you have any advice or some study notes that you can pass me , i would appreciate it. Let me know and i could send you my email. and way to freaking go !!!! Im trying to get over 400 so im able to work in the NICU
I like this type of instruction. No wasted time with worthless words.
Thank you.
Thank you very much! You are a gifted educator. I found your breakdown the best. I am taking a Phlebotomy course with only 6 days left and unfortunately we are out due to covid19. I decided to start rereading and studying everything we have covered and delighted that each time I go over it more sticks. Again thank you
Shari Cook Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I’m glad the videos are helping.
I do not learn from the pop quiz at the end. I've been going over this for several weeks and I still cannot recall it. I took notes on everything you said and wrote. I'll review and maybe I'll remember...thank you for a clear explanation!
1:56 that mnemonic is so brilliant! I’ll be taking my NCCT in phlebotomy next Wednesday so wish me luck!
I took the NCPT test last week I also had done an internship for 2weeks in labcorp
Omg! That was so helpful! And that memory jogger is a life saver!
brandeewyne J Thank you, I’m glad it helped.
I will be starting my phlebotomy course in 2 weeks and this will help a lot! Thank you!
Mr Garza I'm from Trinidad and I'm going to start phlebotomy classes in January and I have already write down notes from your video to study in my spear time. Very good information. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you So much for this very helpful information I passed my PCT exam!!!!!!
Lakesha Hunt That is great. Congratulations!!🎈🎉
Im just now seeing this post, but I start class next week. Im so nervous.
I’m taking mine tomorrow. if you see this any tips?
@@NaturalBeauty-qe7mk How dis your class go? Did you pass? I am starting next week.
@@sotoalexandra57 hey.. Yes I did pass the class. Im officially an CCMA, CPT. 😁
This video really helped a lot my instructor kind of started all over the place and this video helped me study and remember the tubes way easier! Thanks so much!
I’m glad the video helped you. Thank you for watching.
Great videos, you are awesome.
GREAT JOB, THIS WAS A GREAT LEARNING VIDEO
rlalko l
Thank you for your comment.
thank you for this. my professor really isn't the best teacher, so this helped a lot. honestly there were colors like pink, gold and others and this clarified it much easier. I didn't know sst was also gold. lol
I am glad to help. We also have all our videos and more on 4 DVDs available on Amazon and EBay.
Got to check it out. What dvds would I be looming for?
michael rubinstein Phlebotomy Solutions DVD in Amazon or EBay. Also check our website PhlebotomySolutions.org
Lol
Gold really means “golden rod”, a darker yellow top we use for chemistry at my hospital. Also pink is special for blood bank that has a cross match label for the blood bank. We also use tiger tops (red and grey) for our BMP and CMP, and we have also used lavender for type and screens. so essentially FOLLOW YOUR INSTITUTIONS SOP and CLSI standards 😉 I’m a laboratory scientist and got to learn about all of this in great depth!
this actually was so much better to remember than the poem they tried to use in my class lol !
Thank You !!
Thank you for watching.
Love this totally helped my studying thank you!
Ashlee Carrero Thank you. I’m glad they helped.
Well explained !
Thanks so much.
Thank you. Still relevant video 3 years later.
Thank you.
When the video starts it has great volume. But, when the study sessions start the volume is a little low and that's too bad. Other then that great work! I want to make a game for those who are having difficult times learning these tubes... some can learn the tubes but don't know the correct blood draws. So, it would be interesting to make a neat game of it. I would never have a failing study set.
Thanks for the comment. The audio was checked and is working fine on the video. You might want to check you computer levels.
I seriously thought something went wrong with my phone
your video volume is too low, I can hardly hear you, please consider when making videos turning up the volume or talking louder
Amazing!! Thank you so much; it helped me a lot just to clear things out. Well done.
Nishi N I’m glad it helped. Thank you for posting.

Wow! Thank you for letting me know. I’m glad my videos are being used to help others.
Thank you very much for a well explained and clear presentation.
Thank you for the comment.
Ohhh this is very helpful!
that jogger is so confusing . my teacher taught us (Y)oung (B)oys (R) (S)till (G)etting (L)ow (G)rades Yellow Light Blue Red Green Lavender Gray
niece511 The jogger was created by CLSI. It works for some. If your jogger works for you then that is great.
1. Yellow
2. Light blue
3. Red
4. Green
5. Lavender
6. Gray
Don't forget SST and PST too.
Jeff KoCaine easy
SST and PST are called "Tiger top".- and they are interchangeable with red in terms of order of draw.
SST is referred to as a "Tiger Top" but PST is usually a different color top tube. "Plasma Separator Tube" can come different colors depending on where you work.
i like the pattern you have shared to me...and i will practice it with my work.it helps me and supports my additional knowledge..thank you..
flordeliza pelino You are welcome and I’m glad it helped.
great video! now more easy for me to remember the order of draw.
Cherry L Thank you. Glad it helped.

AR You’re very welcome.
Love. Excellent!
Reminds me of the very good training I received in venipuncture. Thank you.
nice info , just a reminder . in gray top tube , the Na- fluoride additive is an antiglycolytic not antiglycocytic.. thanks
COSMICDUST Thanks, we misspelled the word.
Fantastic you explain in detailed thanks.
Thank you and thank you for watching.
I saved this video, the explanation is awesome 👌
Thank you for watching.
I'm yet to start my course because of location barrier.
This was fun watching and love how detailed and easy explanations you gave. Thanks for the prep, it will really help me when i finally start my course .
Thank you for watching.
This is awsome
perfect!!!!!!!😊
Grey top I always say so flo pot ox; sodium fluoride/ potassium oxilate.
Wow amazing thank you!

Great job
Ainsley Spencer Thank you very much.
Thank you for doing this video my name is Dolores Michel and med student. I enjoy the video 😄
Thank you for watching!
I live in california and in school they mentioned to not use tiger tops because their not to be used anymore, so instead of a tiger top tube then what ttube can I use to replace the tiger top
genaro delucio I am not sure why they would say such a thing. The gray/black top tube is used by many including Labcorp, the largest independent lab company in the world. The majority of chemistry related test are collected in those tube or the green top tube with heparin.
the best explanation
Thank you for watching
Thank you so very much! This has helped me tremendously. You are very much appreciated!

Thank you so much for information of drawing blood tube.I am new here .I have to mauch experience of laboratory work but from my country.I think this will help me to find right place for work.
Priti Soni I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
It's more like " you like really strong powerful good looking guy* 😊
Does anyone know any good practice testing websites for the RMA??
Am not sure when this video was maid. But am in phlebotomy and the order that am learning is a bit different. (Gold, red/Grey Sotted tube) goes before red. And we have a royal/ Navy blue that is the last one after grey. I'm guessing machines in clinics and hospitals change so also the order of tubes can be or must be changed. Love your video great information 👍🏼👍🏼
Karina Venegas The order of draw does not change based on CLSI standards. The order is based on the additives and not really the tube colors. The Gold or culture tubes or bottles are always first. The red/gray or SST tube can go before the red non-additive tube. The Royal blue is after the gray tube. It’s the light blue tube with Sodium Citrate that is used after the gold or cultures.
In our program we only learned these colors. However, there’s other colors as well . So do we determine what order of draw we use by the additives in the tube ? Like for my skills final I got a gold/tigertop & a white pearl top ? What would be the order of draw ?
Great question. The order of draw is based on the additives in the tube. Check the additive in the Pearl top and go from there.
Going back to school for my MLA, thank you very much, I'm hoping this will be applicable in Canada as well lol
Geoff Ozzy You are welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Hello Geoff, I am studying MLTA as well, are you already done with school? are you working now?
Thanks
great video, helped alot
thank you !!!!!
Tyeshia Thomas You are welcome.
Is this the latest order of draw? I have seen others that are a little different and want to make sure I am getting the correct information.
Jordan Amspacher Yes, this is directly from CLSI. Up to date
thank you !!! this video helped me to understand more about why and how is the function ets colors thanks
norma ordunez I am glad the video helped. Please check out the others too. Contact me if you have questions.
Phlebotomy Solutions hi thanks for answer my comment , where I can see your others videos , can you send me the web or the media please !!! gracias
Here on our UA-cam channel we have other short video lessons that are from our 4 volume DVD collection. The whole collection is on sale for the month of June for $89 dollars on eBay or from our website. Here is the link for you. Thanks for your comments and I am glad they helped you.

There appear to be some errors in your video. The polymer "gel" is NOT responsible for accelerating clotting. It actually just serves as a barrier device ("separator") between the serum and the cells upon centrifugation; this barrier effect inhibits glycolysis. The additive which assists in clotting is a silica spray - it is not an accelerator, but an activator of clotting (such that it helps the blood form a complete clot). A clot accelerator would be thrombin (orange top tube = RST). Further, the PST tubes do not contain fibrinogen. If this were the case, the PST tube would clot and you wouldn't yield plasma. A PST tube is simply a tube with polymer gel and an anticoagulant (usually heparin). If you are referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not, then I think you may want to be more clear on that. Also, I am not sure why you mention royal blue coming after the ACD tube. Royal blue tubes - at least the ones that I have worked with - either contain EDTA or Silica spray. Where the royal blue fits into order of draw would depend on which tube you have - EDTA or silica.
Thank you for your comment. Here is my response.
1. Compared to SST, RST is considered an accelerator or faster (2.49 min vs. 19.47 min, respectively; P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the RST and SST II tubes for glucose, calcium, and LD (P < 0.001). Differences for glucose and LD were also clinically significant. Analyte stability studies showed that all analytes were stable for 24 h at 4 °C. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4210257/
SST is a clot activator and substance that enhances coagulation and clots within 15 to 30 minutes as compared to other test tubes. It can be considered an accelerator.
2. There is only one kind of PST tube. It has a mint green stopper. This tube is only used on patients who are in the hospital. This tube contains lithium heparin to keep the blood from clotting and has a gel plasma separator. This tube is used to obtain whole blood, plasma. To ensure that the blood does not clot, the tube must be inverted eight times following blood collection. This tube is used for therapeutic drug monitoring and general chemistries. Because the PST™ tube contains lithium, it cannot be used to test a patient’s lithium level. (Phlebotomy Training Group)
3. I was referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not. I made that distinction in the video.
4. Royal blue is followed in the order of draw set by CLSI Standards.
amy castellano you are right even I’m a student in the medical field I still noticed about the order the tubes and when he explains the green tube and grey tube. He should take his time next even though he’s in the medical field mistakes like this is a bit risky and people watching and learning not knowing there’s mistakes in it.
PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not. is this in the blood or in the tube as an additive? I'm confused please help! @@PhlebotomySolutions
Alondra Medina Fibrinogen is in the blood and when blood is put in the PST tube then the lab can test it with the blood. But in a SST tube they can not test it.

Plasma contains fibrinogen with a PST tube but with a SST tube it doesn’t.
very nice👍
Thank you for watching.
Actually vacutainer is a brand name but not the tube's. These are, as you know, called ETS systems or Evacuated Tubes (Vacuum Blood Tubes). There are many brands manufacturing these.
loved this video and how simple but in depth it was at the same time, however im confused about the yellow tube. the order im being taught is first its blood cultures OR yellow tubes (SPS). im open to any explanations !
Hello. At the beginning of the video it states yellow-sterile and or blood cultures. Both are equally used before each other.
@@PhlebotomySolutions thank you so much ! you've helped me so much!!
@@roobee9175 You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for sharing. Why didn't you add the pink top tube in the memory jogger?
Amanda Darling The CLSI standard order of draw is what is required. The pink is EDTA for blood bank and is not part of the “rainbow” draw.
when should you draw the dark blue toxicology tube? it was not actually mentioned in terms of order of draw.
You draw the dark blue after the gray tube at the end. I believe I mentioned it in the video.
I saw one for and it goes
the sky-light blue
the sun-red/gold/red tiger
the grass-green
the flowers- lavender and pink
the pavement-grey
Thank you so much !!!
mrskyparson You are very welcome.
I have some clarification, Sir. If using the syringe method, does the red tube come first before the light blue? Since in the syringe, it doesn't use a tubing thing. Waiting for the response, thank you so much.
The only reason red would go before light blue is if you were drawing with a butterfly needle. There is air in the butterfly tubing that needs to be filled before using the light blue.
With the syringe that is not the case when you transfer the blood. The order of draw remains the same.
Hi Sir, I would like to ask if what is the appropriate tube for PLATELET AGGREGATION TEST?
I was confused because there are a lot of info's on the internet and I don't know if those answers are the correct ones.
Thank you for your question. Anything like platelet tests or aggregation test are done with a light blue tube, sodium citrate additive. It’s part of whole blood tests and it’s used to confirm platelet dysfunction and defect.
I hope this helps.
@@PhlebotomySolutions Thank you so much sir 💕
I have been a Certified Medical Assistant for 10 years. I was just offered a position as a Phlebotomy Instructor. Do you have any advise for me ?
Kristi Hess Yes, develop strong power point learning lectures like the ones I have on video. My DVDs are power point based and created. Develop lesson plans that include group studies in class with phlebotomy related case studies. Use the book "Phlebotomy Essentials" 6th edition if you can, by Ruth McCall.
I do offer an instructors package that includes everything on a flash drive too. I can send you an invoice for the price through PayPal if you like.
This is great. Can you do more with what is need for the test
Louis Felix Hello, most of these videos on my channel are for education to help prepare you for the test.
I also have 4 DVDs at my website PhlebotomySolutions.org that are made to help on tests too.
Available also at EBay too and Amazon.
Louis Felix yes what he
said👆🏻
Snow White I offer a phlebotomy exam study flash drive for students too.
