Answer #1

Specimen submitted in the above image for Hgb A1C is submitted in specimen tube of yellow top cap which is not recommended.The tubes used for this collection are Lavender top cap K2 EDTA tubes. Whole blood of 3 or 4 ml should be collected. But here the blood collected in the test tube seems to be freezed (separation of blood cells and plasma), and this is not whole blood. Blood collected for Hgb A1C should not be refrigerated.
