LK Packaging 14 x 20 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags Blue 2 Mil

LK Packaging 14 x 20 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags in Blue for Oversized Specimen Transport

LK Packaging 14 x 20 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags in Blue provide extra-large specimen containment for anatomical pathology collections, 24-hour urine containers, multi-container panel sets, and bulk culture specimens requiring a bag format larger than standard clinical sizes. Manufactured from 2 mil polyethylene with a 3-wall construction, these bags feature a biohazard-printed exterior, reclosable zipper closure, and integrated document pocket for requisition isolation. The 14 x 20 inch format accommodates specimen containers that exceed the capacity of standard 6 x 10 or 12 x 15 bags. LK Packaging Lab-Loc® bags satisfy OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 labeling requirements for biohazardous material transport. The blue color designation supports visual routing programs in high-volume laboratory receiving environments.

When Do Specimens Require a 14 x 20 Bag Format?

Specimens requiring 14 x 20 bag capacity typically fall into one of three categories: extra-large anatomical pathology containers with tissue specimens in 64-ounce formalin jars, complete 24-hour urine collection kits with 3-liter collection containers plus aliquot tubes, or comprehensive send-out panels with 8 to 12 tubes that cannot be packaged in smaller format bags without compression. For hospital laboratory outreach programs receiving specimens from remote collection sites via ground courier, the 14 x 20 format provides the security margin needed for larger specimen loads that would stress smaller bags during extended courier routes with multiple stops and vehicle vibration over distance.

14 x 20 Inch Dimensions and Lab-Loc® Construction Details

The 14 x 20 inch bag provides 280 square inches of interior specimen compartment space, accommodating wide-body specimen jars up to 19 inches tall when oriented vertically. The 2 mil polyethylene construction provides adequate puncture resistance for jar lids, metal container clasps, and tube rack edges. The reclosable Lab-Loc® zipper allows lab receiving staff to access the specimen compartment for multi-step intake processing without destroying the secondary containment bag. The 3-wall document pocket on the front face holds even oversized requisition packets with multiple forms for complex inpatient or surgical pathology orders.

24-Hour Urine Collection and Transport With Large-Format Blue Bags

Nephrology practices, endocrinology clinics, and metabolic disease programs performing 24-hour urine analyte testing provide 3-liter collection containers that patients return to the clinic or mail to the laboratory. Large-format blue Lab-Loc® bags serve as secondary containment for 24-hour urine jugs during clinic-to-lab transport, preventing spillage from containers that may have loosened lids after extended patient use. Blue designation signals to laboratory receiving staff that the bag contains a 24-hour urine specimen requiring specific accessioning procedures — volume measurement, pH and specific gravity recording, and aliquot preparation — rather than standard tube processing.
