Light blue tube Phlebotomy Market – Global Industry
Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis,
2018-2026
The process of drawing blood from veins is known as phlebotomy. The procedure, also known
as venipuncture, is primarily performed by specialists called phlebotomists. Medical laboratory
scientists, doctors, and nurses often perform phlebotomy process as well. Phlebotomy is carried
out for a range of reasons such as blood donations, medical testing, and research. Light blue
top tubes are used for performing coagulation tests. Blood clotting or coagulation is the method
by which blood changes its form. It forms a lump known as clot. This process leads to
hemostasis, and prevent the blood loss from the body.

The course of action of coagulation includes activation, bonding, and accumulation of platelets
in addition to deposition and development of fibrin. Disorder related to clotting can result in
thrombosis or hemorrhage. Phlebotomy tubes with light blue stoppers primarily contain two
additives: sodium citrate (3.2% or 3.8%) and Citrate, theophylline, adenosine, dipyridamole) or
CTAD. The citrate acts as an anticoagulant. It binds the calcium present in the blood that is
required for clotting. As the additive gives a whole blood sample that is plasma and red blood
cells, the light blue phlebotomy tubes have buffered tri-sodium citrate solution as well.
Various tests are performed using the light blue phlebotomy tube. Some of them are Partial
Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Fibrin degradation products (FDP), Thrombin Time (TT),
Prothrombin Time (PT), Fibrinogen, and D-dimer. The global light blue tube phlebotomy market
is expected to swell at a considerable rate in the near future. Rise in health awareness has
resulted in the increase in blood diagnostic tests; particularly coagulation tests owing to
mounting incidences of low platelet count, increased prevalence of liver diseases, as well as
growth in number of surgeries are factors that will be responsible for the growth of light blue
tube phlebotomy market.
