Knowing which blood bottles to use for different tests is essential in clinical practice. Knowledge of blood bottles is one of those practical things which is poorly taught, if at all! Even though most hospitals now have printable stickers for bottles that tell you which ones to use, it is still vital to understand which bottles are used and why to prevent mistakes and/or awkward phone calls from the laboratory. 

The colours of the vacutainer bottles are standardised. However, depending on which hospital you work in, preferences may vary between individual laboratories, especially regarding tests performed less frequently. It is important to check local guidelines or discuss with the laboratory if you’re not sure.
