LK Packaging 6 x 9 Purple Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags, 2 Mil

LK Packaging’s 6 x 9 purple Lab-Loc® reclosable specimen bags provide color-matched containment for hematology and EDTA tube specimen transport with 2 mil LDPE 3-wall construction, an integrated document pocket, and a secure reclosable zipper closure. Purple specimen bags are widely adopted in clinical color-coding systems to align with the purple EDTA tube used for CBC, blood bank, and molecular diagnostics.

Why do labs use purple specimen bags for hematology specimens?

Purple EDTA tubes are the standard collection vessel for complete blood counts, differential counts, HbA1c, blood bank type-and-screen, and molecular testing. Pairing purple EDTA tubes with purple Lab-Loc® transport bags creates visual alignment throughout the pre-analytical phase, making color mismatch between tube and bag immediately apparent to collection staff before a specimen leaves the draw site.

How does the document pocket support blood bank and transfusion chain-of-custody requirements?

Blood bank and transfusion service specimens require strict chain-of-custody documentation to prevent transfusion errors. The document pocket in LK Packaging’s 3-wall Lab-Loc® bags keeps patient identification forms, specimen labels, and blood bank request forms with the type-and-screen specimen without contact, supporting the dual-identification requirements that blood banks use to prevent ABO incompatibility events.

Purple Lab-Loc® bags for molecular diagnostics and genomics send-out testing

Molecular diagnostics labs processing EDTA whole blood specimens for PCR, NGS, and cell-free DNA testing require secure transport that prevents tube inversion and cross-contamination. LK Packaging’s purple Lab-Loc® bags support genomics send-out programs by providing consistent containment for EDTA tubes sent to reference labs, with document pocket support for test requisitions and informed consent forms required for genetic testing.

Are purple Lab-Loc® bags suitable for blood bank type-and-screen transport?

Yes. The reclosable zipper maintains specimen security and prevents accidental mixing of blood bank specimens with routine chemistry specimens during courier transport. The purple color coding supports visual verification at many blood banks before accepting a type-and-screen specimen, and the document pocket provides space for the dual patient identifier paperwork required by AABB standards.
