LK Packaging 6 x 6 Lab-Loc® Reclosable 3-Wall Specimen Transfer Bags for Clinical Laboratory Use

LK Packaging’s 6 x 6 Lab-Loc® reclosable specimen transfer bags provide the three-wall construction and integrated document pouch that clinical laboratories and hospital specimen collection departments require for safe, chain-of-custody specimen transport. Made from 2 mil polyethylene with a reclosable zipper top, the LAB20606 keeps biological specimens securely separated from accompanying laboratory requisition forms — a critical requirement for maintaining specimen integrity and regulatory compliance throughout the collection-to-results workflow.

What Is the 3-Wall Construction in Lab-Loc® Specimen Bags?

The 3-wall design in LK Packaging’s Lab-Loc® bags features a primary specimen compartment sealed by a reclosable zipper, with a secondary attached document pocket on the outer wall that holds laboratory requisition forms, patient information slips, and test order paperwork. This separation ensures that paperwork never contacts the specimen directly, preventing cross-contamination of documents with biological materials and maintaining the legibility of critical information throughout transport. The outer document pocket is accessible without opening the specimen compartment, preserving the specimen seal integrity during paperwork review.

Which Clinical Settings Use the 6 x 6 Lab-Loc® Specimen Bag?

Hospital laboratories, physician office labs (POLs), urgent care centers, and reference laboratory collection stations are the primary users of the 6 x 6 Lab-Loc® format. The 6 x 6 size accommodates most standard specimen containers in the small-tube category, including 10mL red-top serum tubes, small-volume purple-top EDTA tubes, and microtainer collection devices. It is also the preferred format for packaging urine specimen cups in collection kit form before patient distribution.

Cytology Specimen Collection for Pathology Laboratory Transport

Pathology departments and cytology laboratories that process Pap test vials, fine needle aspiration specimens, and sputum cytology samples use the 6 x 6 Lab-Loc® bag to transport liquid-based cytology containers with accompanying patient and collection site information in the document pocket. The secure zipper closure prevents specimen container cap loosening during courier transport that can cause biohazardous spills — a significant patient safety and regulatory exposure that the Lab-Loc® design specifically addresses by containing any leakage within the sealed specimen compartment.

Do Lab-Loc® Bags Meet Specimen Transport Regulatory Requirements?

LK Packaging’s Lab-Loc® specimen bags are designed to meet the specimen transport packaging requirements established by OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), which mandates that specimens of blood and other potentially infectious materials be placed in containers that prevent leakage during collection, handling, processing, storage, and transport. The biohazard symbol printed on the bag provides the required visual identification of potentially infectious contents, and the reclosable zipper provides the required closeable container performance. Confirm compliance with your institution’s infection control and laboratory compliance officer for specific use-case applications.
