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

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags in Green for Microbiology and Environmental Programs

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags in Green extend the Lab Seal® color-coding system with a distinctive green tint for rapid visual identification in clinical collection and laboratory transport programs. Manufactured from 1.8 mil low-density polyethylene with a 3-wall construction and Seal-N-Rip® tamper-evident closure, these bags provide the same chain-of-custody security and document pocket separation as clear Lab Seal® bags while adding a color identifier that communicates routing, priority, or program designation without barcode scanning. LK Packaging biohazard printing on each bag satisfies OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 labeling requirements. Green designation is well suited for microbiology, environmental testing, or routine priority specimen classification in multi-program laboratory systems.

Applying Green Color Coding in Microbiology Specimen Programs

Clinical microbiology departments receiving wound cultures, urine cultures, blood cultures, and respiratory cultures alongside chemistry and hematology specimens from shared collection sites benefit from color-differentiated bags that signal culture-specific handling requirements to receiving staff. Green Lab Seal® bags assigned to microbiology submissions flag these specimens for refrigerated holding if immediate processing is not possible, preventing specimen degradation from ambient temperature exposure that is acceptable for serum chemistry specimens. Receiving staff recognizing green bags can direct them to the refrigerated holding area while other bags proceed directly to centrifuge processing.

6 x 10 Format for Standard Microbiology Collection Kits

Standard microbiology collection kits — including single culture swab tubes, urine cups for urinalysis and culture, and paired wound swab transport tubes — fit comfortably within the 6 x 10 format. The 3-wall document pocket holds the specimen requisition separate from the swab transport medium containers, preventing contact contamination while allowing intake staff to confirm the ordered culture type without touching the swab tubes. The Seal-N-Rip® closure is applied by the collection nurse or phlebotomist at the collection point, initiating chain-of-custody documentation from the moment of collection through lab receipt.

Environmental Monitoring Specimen Collection at Healthcare Facilities

Infection control teams performing environmental swabbing for healthcare-associated infection surveillance — high-touch surface cultures, water sampling for Legionella, and air quality monitoring in procedure rooms — use green Lab Seal® bags to segregate environmental monitoring specimens from clinical specimens in shared courier systems. Clear differentiation between clinical and environmental specimen bags prevents cross-contamination concerns, ensures environmental specimens reach the environmental microbiology division, and supports documentation for infection control quality reporting required by Joint Commission and CMS infection prevention standards.
