LK Packaging F20306SNR – 3×6 Seal-N-Rip Specimen Transfer Bags, 1.75 Mil 3-Wall LDPE

LK Packaging F20306SNR – 3×6 Seal-N-Rip Specimen Transfer Bags in 1.75 Mil 3-Wall LDPE

The LK Packaging F20306SNR is a 3×6 Seal-N-Rip® specimen transfer bag engineered for medical and laboratory specimen handling. LK Packaging builds this bag from 1.75 mil LDPE using a three-wall construction, featuring a tear-open top for initial access and a reclosable zipper for secure transport after specimen collection. The dual-function design eliminates the need for separate collection and transport packaging.

What does SNR mean, and how does LK Packaging’s Seal-N-Rip technology work?

SNR stands for Seal-N-Rip®, a proprietary three-wall bag design from LK Packaging used in medical specimen transfer. The bag ships factory-sealed at the top; the collector tears open the perforated seal to access the interior, deposits the specimen, then reseals using the built-in zipper below the tear line. The resealed bag with an intact tear line creates a clear chain-of-custody indicator confirming the bag has been opened once.

What clinical and laboratory applications use LK Packaging F20306SNR bags?

F20306SNR bags are used for transporting urine specimens, swab cultures, small tissue samples, and other biological materials from collection points to processing labs. The 3×6 format accommodates standard specimen cups and collection tubes without excess void space, and LK Packaging’s 1.75 mil film meets the physical requirements for routine diagnostic specimen containment.

How do hospital phlebotomy units benefit from LK Packaging Seal-N-Rip bags?

Outpatient collection centers and hospital phlebotomy units need a bag that nurses and patients can open without scissors while providing a tamper-evident closure for lab transport. LK Packaging’s F20306SNR delivers this balance: the tear-open top is easily accessible in clinical settings, while the reclosable zipper provides a secure, leak-resistant seal for the transport leg from collection site to the processing laboratory.

Are LK Packaging Seal-N-Rip bags compliant with laboratory transport standards?

LK Packaging designs F20306SNR bags to meet the physical containment requirements for routine diagnostic specimen transport. Facilities should confirm compliance with applicable regulations for their specific specimen types, including OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and accreditation body requirements (CAP, CLIA, etc.) that apply to their operations.

How do F20306SNR bags compare to other LK Packaging 3×6 reclosable options?

Unlike the standard LK Packaging F20306 (2.0 mil, plain reclosable) or F20306H (2.0 mil heavy-duty), the F20306SNR is purpose-built for specimen transfer with a factory-sealed top, tear-open access, and chain-of-custody indicator. The 1.75 mil three-wall construction is optimized for specimen transport stress patterns rather than general-purpose storage or retail packaging.
