Part 2      TODAY'S TUBE AND LINK TO WORKSHEETS                      (Click to Open/Close)

Welcome to Week 2 Day 2 Part 2!


It's time for our last Plasma Tube!


     Today we;re learning about the Dark Blue (or "ROYAL" Blue) Tube.
The tube with THREE PERSONALITIES! There is a red type, a green type and a lavender type. Can you guess what their additives are? (Hint: None, Na Hep and EDTA, respectively!) The Dark Blue tubes are used to measure trace elements (copper, zinc, lead, etc.) in the blood and are made of ultra-pure materials to reduce the chance of false positives. Check the worksheets folder (link below!) for more information!


     Visit this link and print and complete the relevant worksheet(s).

Part 3       PST! PRICELESS STUDY TIP                         (Click to Open/Close)

Welcome to Week 2 Day 2 Part 3!

Why don't you take a moment to review all of the tubes you've had so far? You've learned about 8 of the 10 that we cover in this program. (Three serum tubes and five plasma tubes) Do you have them all straight. Do you know them backwards? If I ask you for a PST would you know which tube to give me? How about a trace elements tube? How about an oxalate tube? Work with a friend and test each other. Remember, this is a good time to take a "tough love" approach and really make them work for the right answer.
