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

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags in Blue for Differentiated Collection Programs

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab Seal® Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags in Blue provide the security of the Seal-N-Rip® one-time tamper-evident closure combined with a blue tint color identifier for instant visual routing in clinical collection and laboratory intake workflows. Manufactured from 1.8 mil low-density polyethylene with a 3-wall construction, these bags maintain the requisition document in a separate front pocket and display biohazard identification for OSHA compliance. The 6 x 10 format handles standard urine cups, evacuated blood tube sets, and swab transport tubes. Blue bag designation integrates into color-coded programs where collection site, client, department, or priority differentiation can be communicated visually without barcode scanning.

Using Blue Lab Seal® Bags to Distinguish Client-Specific Collections

Reference laboratories and hospital outreach programs serving multiple client collection sites use color-specific tamper-evident bags as a client-identification tool within shared courier systems. Assigning blue bags to a specific physician practice group, employer health program, or managed care contract allows courier drivers and lab receiving staff to sort and prioritize client-specific specimens before barcode scanning. This pre-sort reduces receiving processing time and enables client-specific turnaround time monitoring by providing a visual sample count for each client group as bags arrive. Blue also enables flagging of specific testing programs — such as occupational health panels — for dedicated processing queue routing.

6 x 10 Standard Format With Blue Tint for Any Collection Setting

The 6 x 10 inch format remains the most widely used specimen bag size across clinical collection environments, compatible with standard urine cups, SST blood tubes, purple-top EDTA tubes in secondary carton holders, and culture swab tubes. The blue tint is a translucent color that allows barcode labels on the bag face to remain scannable and preserves the visibility of requisition forms in the front document pocket. Collection staff follow the same Seal-N-Rip® closure procedure regardless of bag color, minimizing training requirements when transitioning from clear to tinted bag programs.

Hematology Department Specimen Identification With Blue-Tinted Bags

Laboratory systems using color coding where blue designates hematology specimens use blue Lab Seal® bags to ensure hematology blood draws — CBC, differential, ESR, peripheral smear — are immediately routed to the hematology analyzer area upon lab receipt. Hematology specimens require EDTA anticoagulation tubes that must be mixed immediately after draw and analyzed within specific time windows to preserve cellular morphology. Rapid visual identification of blue-designated hematology bags upon lab arrival enables receiving staff to prioritize mixing confirmation and centrifuge bypass for whole-blood hematology specimens, reducing pre-analytical processing delays.

Do Blue Bags Work With Existing Lab Seal® Intake Procedures?

Yes. Blue Lab Seal® bags follow the same Seal-N-Rip® closure procedure and 3-wall document pocket design as clear Lab Seal® bags. Collection sites can begin using blue bags without modifying intake procedures, training materials, or accessioning workflows. The blue tint is the only operational difference — all physical properties, closure mechanics, and document pocket functionality are identical to the standard clear format. Transitioning specific collection programs to blue bags requires only updating the supply order for those sites to specify the LABA610B SKU.
