LK Packaging 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® Reclosable 3-Wall Specimen Transfer Bags for Large Specimen Sets

LK Packaging’s 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® reclosable specimen transfer bags scale the proven three-wall Lab-Loc® construction to a format sized for large specimen sets, multi-site collection kits, and comprehensive clinical panel collections that require more interior capacity than mid-size Lab-Loc® formats provide. The LAB20912 serves reference laboratories, research programs, and specialty clinical services that distribute complex collection kits to patients or satellite collection sites and need the organizational structure of the Lab-Loc® design at a larger scale.

What Large-Scale Specimen Collections Require the 9 x 12 Format?

Comprehensive endocrine panels, allergy testing arrays, specialized research blood draws with 8–10 tubes, and home specimen collection kits for complex diagnostic workups are the primary drivers for 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® adoption. The 9-inch width accommodates the widest standard specimen containers — including 180mL urine cups and 50mL conical research tubes — while the 12-inch length provides clearance for tall culture flasks and multi-tube collection sets arranged vertically. Reference labs distributing comprehensive metabolic testing kits to nursing homes and assisted living facilities also use this format for its capacity to hold a week’s specimen supply for a single patient.

Which Specialty Medical Programs Use the 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® Bag?

Fertility clinics, endocrinology practices, allergy and immunology specialists, and nephrology programs with complex monitoring requirements are frequent users of the 9 x 12 format for specimen collection and transport. Post-transplant monitoring programs that draw multiple tube types for rejection surveillance, drug level monitoring, and immune function testing find the 9 x 12 bag the right size for the multi-tube collections these protocols require. Research biobanking programs also use the large format for specimen sets that include multiple tube types collected at a single time point.

Transplant Rejection Monitoring Multi-Tube Collection Kit Management

Solid organ transplant programs monitoring for rejection through comprehensive surveillance protocols draw 6–10 tube types at each monitoring visit, covering drug levels, immune cell counts, kidney and liver function markers, and infection surveillance. The 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® bag accommodates the full tube set from a single visit with the accompanying physician order and transplant protocol documentation in the document pocket. Centralizing all tubes from one visit in a single 9 x 12 bag reduces tube separation errors that can result in incorrect patient results being reported for mixed tube sets from concurrent visits.

Can Specialty Clinics Order the LAB20912 in Case Quantities from NFCbags.com?

Yes — LK Packaging’s 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® specimen bags are available at NFCbags.com in case quantities for specialty clinics, reference laboratories, and research programs with large-format specimen transport needs. NFCbags.com maintains stock of the larger Lab-Loc® sizes to support clinical programs that require formats beyond the standard 6 x 9 offering. Contact NFCbags.com for case pricing and availability for the LAB20912.

What Document Pocket Capacity Does the 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® Bag Provide?

The 9 x 12 Lab-Loc® bag’s document pocket is proportionally scaled to the larger bag format, providing sufficient width and depth for multi-page physician orders, research protocol sheets, and chain-of-custody documentation sets that accompany complex multi-tube specimen collections. The pocket can hold several pages of documentation without folding — important for research and transplant protocols where multi-page collection worksheets must remain attached to the specimen through the full processing cycle without damage or separation from the primary specimen bag.
