2. Yes, syringe method. It is easy to use and convenient to use compared to butterfly method. When drawing blood the phlebotomist can easily see the back flow of blood. It is cheaper compared to ETS. It is cost effective especially to those primary and secondary facilities because they usually use Red, Lavender and sometime Blue top vacutainer tubes.
