In the context of the UK National Health Service (NHS), the color of the tube used for blood samples depends on the type of test being performed. For group and Rh typing, a lavender or purple tube is typically used, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. This helps preserve the blood cells for accurate analysis. Always consult specific laboratory guidelines for confirmation, as practices may vary.
