What type of anticoagulant does a Green Top contain?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the type of anticoagulant contained in a Green Top tube. 
A Green Top tube is designed for plasma determinations and contains lithium heparin as the anticoagulant. This choice ensures plasma remains unclotted for accurate chemistry analyses while avoiding clotting factors that would be present in serum. 
Since the provided answer is Lithium Heparin, that aligns with standard phlebotomy tube specifications. 
Note: Common alternative tube colors include Red Top (no anticoagulant), Blue Top (sodium citrate for coagulation studies), Lavender/Purple Top (EDTA for hematology), and Gray Top (fluoride/oxalate for glycolytic inhibition and glucose testing). The absence of listed options in the data means we rely on the given correct answer, but the Green Top’s identity is indeed lithium heparin as the anticoagulant.
