Grey-top blood tubes contain potassium oxalate (anticoagulant) and sodium
fluoride (preservative). These tubes are used to preserve glucose in whole
blood to ensure that no further glucose breakdown occurs within the sample
after it is taken from the patient's body. Grey-top tubes are
used primarily for glucose tolerance tests and for some special chemistry tests
such as blood-alcohol and lactic acid.
