LK Packaging 8 x 10 Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags Blue with Absorbent Pad 2 Mil

LK Packaging 8 x 10 Blue Lab-Loc® Reclosable Specimen Bags with Absorbent Pad, 2 Mil

LK Packaging’s 8 x 10 blue Lab-Loc® reclosable specimen bags with absorbent pad provide large-format leak containment for multi-tube specimen transport with integrated absorbent material, 2 mil LDPE 3-wall construction, a reclosable zipper closure, and a document pocket for requisition forms. The larger format handles complete multi-tube draw sets while the absorbent pad captures leakage from any container failure in the batch.

Why use absorbent pad bags for multi-tube specimen transport?

Multi-tube collections significantly increase the probability that at least one tube in a batch will develop a seep, cap failure, or crack during transport. A single tube leak in an unprotected bag can contaminate all other specimens and all paperwork in the bag. The absorbent pad in LK Packaging’s 8 x 10 format captures liquid from a single tube failure before it reaches other specimens or the document pocket, protecting the entire batch from a single containment event.

How is the absorbent pad positioned in the 8×10 bag?

The absorbent pad sits within the specimen chamber between the LDPE walls, positioned to capture drainage from any tube or container failure during transport. The document pocket remains separated from the specimen chamber on the outer wall, keeping requisition forms dry even if the absorbent pad reaches saturation capacity during an extended transport event.

8×10 absorbent pad bags for 24-hour urine and large fluid specimen transport

24-hour urine collections and other large-volume fluid specimens present the highest leak risk in clinical specimen transport due to container volume, cap design, and handling duration. LK Packaging’s 8 x 10 blue Lab-Loc® bags with absorbent pad provide the containment area needed for large containers while the absorbent pad handles the increased leakage volume risk associated with high-volume specimen types sent via courier to reference labs.

Do absorbent pad specimen bags satisfy DOT secondary containment requirements for clinical specimens?

Yes. The absorbent material in LK Packaging’s Lab-Loc® bags with absorbent pad satisfies the absorbent material secondary containment requirement under DOT 49 CFR 173.199 and IATA Packing Instruction 650. For multi-tube collections representing multiple primary containers, the pad is sized to manage the expected liquid volume from a single primary container failure as required by transport regulations.
