LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags Clear 1.8 Mil

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags for Clinical Collection and Transport

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags provide the industry-standard format for secure specimen containment from point-of-collection through courier transport to laboratory receiving. Manufactured from 1.8 mil low-density polyethylene with a 3-wall construction, these bags feature the Seal-N-Rip® adhesive closure that creates a tamper-evident seal on first application and shows visible evidence of any opening attempt. The front document pocket isolates the paper requisition from the specimen compartment in a separate clear-face pouch, protecting laboratory personnel from contamination during intake and allowing intake staff to read requisition information without breaking the tamper seal. LK Packaging biohazard printing on each bag confirms compliance with OSHA bloodborne pathogen labeling standards.

Why Lab Seal® Is the Standard Specimen Bag for Clinical Outpatient Collections

Lab Seal® specimen bags have become the default specimen transport bag in clinical outpatient collection environments because they combine tamper evidence, document separation, and ease of use. Collection staff can seal these bags without specialized equipment or training — the Seal-N-Rip® release liner protects the adhesive until the collector is ready, preventing accidental sealing during bag preparation. The document pocket allows requisition forms to travel with the specimen without physical contact, reducing contamination risk and satisfying CAP and Joint Commission standards that require the requisition to accompany the specimen throughout transport.

6 x 10 Inch Format for Standard Urine Cups and Tube Collections

The 6 x 10 inch format accommodates the most common specimen containers used in clinical outpatient collection: standard 90ml and 120ml urine collection cups, 10ml and 16ml evacuated blood collection tubes in cardboard secondary holders, and swab transport tubes. The 6-inch width provides sufficient clearance to insert a standard urine cup with the lid secured, and the 10-inch height allows the bag to close completely without compressing the cup top. For blood tube collections, the secondary carton holder fits cleanly with tubes oriented vertically for protection of fragile tube caps during courier transport.

Occupational Health and Drug Screen Collections With Lab Seal® Bags

Occupational health clinics and third-party medical examination facilities performing DOT and non-DOT drug screen collections use Lab Seal® bags as part of documented chain-of-custody protocols required by federal workplace drug testing regulations. The tamper-evident Seal-N-Rip® closure is applied by the collection technician in the donor’s presence, and the sealed bag is placed in a chain-of-custody transport envelope the donor initials, creating a documented handoff record. The clear bag face allows the collection technician to confirm the specimen label is visible and matching the chain-of-custody form without reopening the bag after sealing.

Are Lab Seal® Bags Accepted by Reference Laboratory Networks?

Yes. LK Packaging Lab Seal® bags are widely used throughout clinical laboratory networks including physician office labs, outpatient collection centers, and hospital outreach programs that send specimens to reference laboratories. Major reference laboratory networks specify tamper-evident specimen bags with document pockets as part of their collection supply kits provided to client collection sites. Lab Seal® bags meet these specifications and are compatible with reference laboratory intake procedures for standard outpatient and specialty testing panels.
