Explanation
A Lavender tube is used for the CBC (Complete Blood Count) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) tests.

Explanation
Grey tubes are used for tests such as GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test), FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar), Glucose, Blood Alcohol, and Lactic Acid. These tests are commonly performed to measure blood glucose levels, assess glucose tolerance, detect diabetes or monitor blood alcohol levels. The grey tubes contain an additive called sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate, which help preserve the glucose in the blood sample and inhibit the growth of bacteria. This ensures accurate and reliable test results for these specific analytes.
