An aPTT (activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) sample should be collected in a blue-top tube, which contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant. The blue-top tube typically has a 3.2% concentration of sodium citrate, which helps preserve the sample for accurate testing. It's important to maintain the proper blood-to-citrate ratio for reliable results.
