LK Packaging 10 x 10 Lab-Loc® 2-Wall Reclosable Specimen Bags 2 Mil

LK Packaging 10 x 10 Lab-Loc® 2-Wall Reclosable Specimen Bags for Paperless Lab Workflows

LK Packaging 10 x 10 Lab-Loc® 2-Wall Reclosable Specimen Bags provide dependable specimen containment engineered for laboratories that have adopted digital requisitioning and electronic chain-of-custody tracking. Constructed from 2 mil polyethylene with a secure reclosable zipper closure, these bags deliver leak-resistant protection throughout specimen collection, courier transport, and laboratory intake. The 2-wall design eliminates the integrated document pocket present in 3-wall configurations, creating a streamlined bag profile ideal for automated sorting conveyors, pneumatic tube systems, and robotic specimen processing lines. Printed biohazard identification on every bag meets OSHA labeling requirements for biohazardous materials handling. LK Packaging Lab-Loc® construction ensures consistent seal integrity and dimensional stability from production to point of use.

What Sets 2-Wall Lab-Loc® Bags Apart From 3-Wall Models?

Three-wall Lab-Loc® bags include a front document pocket that physically separates the paper requisition from the specimen container, preventing contamination of paperwork in the event of a leaking primary tube. Two-wall bags omit this pocket — a practical choice for laboratories running fully electronic workflows where paper requisitions have been replaced by LIS-integrated barcodes applied directly to the specimen container. The simplified two-layer construction lays flatter, feeds more reliably through automated equipment, and reduces material cost per bag. Facilities that scan barcodes at collection, courier pickup, and lab intake can achieve complete traceability without any paper documentation.

10 x 10 Inch Dimensions Accommodate Standard Specimen Containers

The square 10 x 10 inch format comfortably fits urine collection cups, standard evacuated blood tube racks, culture swab transport tubes, and secondary containment units for fragile specimens. The 2 mil gauge provides sufficient puncture resistance to withstand sharp tube caps and rough courier handling without compromising biohazard containment. The wide reclosable zipper simplifies insertion and removal of containers even while wearing nitrile gloves, reducing collection-site preparation time. Consistent bag dimensions allow stacking and tray loading without spillage or shifting during transport.

Optimizing Reference Lab Sample Receiving With Flat-Profile Specimen Bags

High-volume reference laboratories receiving thousands of daily specimens benefit from the flat, consistent profile of 2-wall bags during automated centrifuge loading. After courier delivery, specimens move directly from bag to centrifuge tray without staff removing paper requisitions — digital orders are pre-matched to barcoded tubes in the LIS, eliminating the manual data-entry step that paper-pocket bags require. This workflow integration reduces accession time per sample and allows receiving staff to process larger intake volumes within the same labor hours, lowering cost-per-test without sacrificing accuracy.

Do These Bags Comply With OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standards?

Yes. LK Packaging Lab-Loc® 2-wall bags are printed with the standardized biohazard symbol and warning text in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 bloodborne pathogen labeling requirements. The leak-resistant reclosable zipper closure satisfies secondary containment requirements for specimen transport within facilities and through courier networks. For transport of Category B biological substances, the bags are compatible with IATA Packing Instruction 650 secondary packaging requirements when used with appropriate primary containers and absorbent materials.
