LK Packaging 12 x 15 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags Blue 2 Mil

LK Packaging 12 x 15 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags in Blue for Extra-Large Clinical Transport

LK Packaging 12 x 15 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags in Blue provide large-format specimen containment with the trusted Lab-Loc® reclosable zipper closure and blue color identification for visual routing in high-volume laboratory programs. Manufactured from 2 mil polyethylene with a 3-wall construction, these bags feature a biohazard-printed exterior, integrated document pocket for paper requisition separation, and reclosable zipper seal for dependable containment throughout specimen collection, courier transport, and laboratory intake. The 12 x 15 inch format handles multi-tube panel sets, large-volume urine containers, and cytology vials that exceed the capacity of standard 6 x 10 formats. The blue tint integrates into color-coded specimen routing programs, allowing couriers and lab receiving staff to identify and triage blue-designated specimens visually without barcode scanning. LK Packaging Lab-Loc® bags meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 biohazard labeling standards.

Why Large-Format Blue Lab-Loc® Bags Benefit Multi-Specialty Labs

Multi-specialty outpatient laboratories serving cardiology, nephrology, and gastroenterology practices collect larger panel volumes per patient than general primary care labs — extended cardiac panels, 24-hour renal function tests, and liver disease workups each involve multiple tube types requiring co-transport. Large-format blue bags allow all tubes from a single patient’s comprehensive specialty visit to travel together in one identifiable secondary containment bag, reducing the risk of tube separation during courier batch handling. Blue color designation separates specialty collection bags from routine primary care draws in the same courier manifest, enabling priority processing for time-sensitive specialty analytes.

12 x 15 Lab-Loc® Format for Cytology, Culture, and Multi-Tube Collections

The 12 x 15 format accommodates liquid-based cytology collection vials, multi-tube blood culture bottle sets, urine culture containers with mid-stream catch cups, and comprehensive metabolic panel tube racks — specimen types that require larger secondary containment than standard bags provide. The Lab-Loc® reclosable zipper allows lab receiving staff to access the specimen compartment during multi-step intake processing (centrifugation, aliquoting, reflex testing) without destroying the secondary containment bag, enabling continued bag use as a transport envelope for leftover aliquots when applicable.

Outpatient Oncology Specimen Collection With 12 x 15 Blue Bags

Outpatient oncology infusion centers collecting therapy monitoring panels — CBC pre-infusion, comprehensive metabolic panel, tumor marker draws — use 12 x 15 blue Lab-Loc® bags to package multi-tube oncology panel collections for courier transport to the reference laboratory. Blue-tinted bags designated for oncology collections allow courier drivers picking up from mixed outpatient sites to separate oncology collections from general wellness draws during route sorting, reducing the chance that oncology specimens requiring same-day processing are delayed by mixing with lower-priority routine collections in the same courier compartment.

Is the 12 x 15 LABZ Format the Same as Standard Lab-Loc® 12 x 15 Bags?

The LABZ designation covers large-format bags in the Lab-Loc® product family with specific construction and tint configurations. Both LABZ1215B and standard-sized Lab-Loc® bags share the 2 mil polyethylene construction, 3-wall document pocket, reclosable zipper closure, and biohazard identification.
