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

LK Packaging’s 6 x 9 yellow Lab-Loc® reclosable specimen bags provide color-coded containment for blood culture, microbiology, and ACD tube specimen transport with 2 mil LDPE 3-wall construction, an integrated document pocket, and a reclosable zipper closure. Yellow specimen bags are adopted in clinical color-coding systems to align with yellow-top ACD and SPS collection tubes used for blood cultures and DNA testing.

What specimens are transported in yellow specimen bags?

Yellow-top ACD tubes are used for HLA typing, paternity testing, and specialized flow cytometry. Yellow-top SPS tubes are the standard for blood culture collection. Pairing these tubes with yellow Lab-Loc® bags in color-coded transport protocols creates visual consistency from the venipuncture site to the microbiology laboratory, reducing the risk of routing blood culture specimens to the chemistry analyzer queue.

How does the document pocket support blood culture chain-of-custody?

Blood culture specimens require strict time tracking from collection to incubation to ensure accurate time-to-positivity reporting. The document pocket in LK Packaging’s 3-wall Lab-Loc® bags keeps blood culture requisition forms — including collection time, site, and antibiotic status — with the specimen without contact, supporting chain-of-custody documentation for source correlation and antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Yellow Lab-Loc® bags for HLA typing and transplant evaluation specimens

Transplant centers processing ACD specimens for HLA typing, crossmatching, and donor-specific antibody testing require consistent transport packaging that supports specimen integrity for time-sensitive immunological testing. LK Packaging’s yellow Lab-Loc® bags provide the appropriate containment format for transplant evaluation specimens, with document pocket support for detailed requisition forms required by histocompatibility laboratories.

Are yellow Lab-Loc® bags compatible with blood culture transport pouches?

Yes. LK Packaging’s 6 x 9 yellow Lab-Loc® bags fit within standard insulated blood culture transport pouches and cooler systems used for maintaining specimen temperature between collection and incubation. The reclosable zipper maintains containment within the outer transport pouch, meeting secondary containment requirements for bloodstream infection specimen transport.
