Ok, so I have a job interview tomorrow and I need to know everything about venipuncture tubes. Does anyone know the order of draw, additives, and which test is performed for which tube? Or does anyone know a website that provides all of this information? Thank You very much in advance.

You can pull the information up online to help you retain the info about the order of draw.

This is the problem I am having. The list of tubes you have presented is variant to what I have learned. I believe the person who posed a question of which you replied to was going to attend an interview for a position covering that of a phlebotomist,of which a particular draw order is given. For something else a more elaborate order would be given. This is what I think, I don't know for sure. I am wondering myself what is the full, correct order of draw myself, for phlebotomy.
