Lab-Seal Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags - Secure Transport with Removable Biohazard Symbol
Lab-Seal Tamper-Evident Specimen Bags provide a secure, professional solution for transporting biological samples in hospital and medical laboratory environments. Each bag features a unique tamper-evident closure mechanism and a removable biohazard symbol, allowing facilities to reduce disposal costs by removing the marking from non-hazardous samples before recycling.

Applications
These specimen bags serve critical roles across healthcare and laboratory operations. Hospital specimen collection departments use them for secure transport of blood samples, urine specimens, and tissue biopsies between patient floors and the central lab. Clinical laboratories rely on the tamper-evident feature to maintain chain of custody for diagnostic samples. Reference laboratories use these bags for shipping specimens to partner facilities. The removable biohazard symbol provides flexibility—facilities can strip the marking from bags containing non-biohazardous materials, allowing disposal in standard recycling streams rather than expensive biohazard waste containers.
Key Features
- Tamper-Evident Closure: Pull-tab mechanism permanently seals with adhesive glue—once closed, the bag cannot be reopened without visible evidence
- Tear-Line Access: Designated tear line at top reveals any tampering attempts and provides controlled access to contents
- Removable Biohazard Symbol: Peel-off biohazard marking allows reclassification of bags for standard waste disposal, reducing biohazard disposal costs
- Permanent Adhesive Seal: Industrial-strength adhesive ensures specimens remain secure throughout transport chain
Common Questions
Q: How does the tamper-evident mechanism work?
A: When you pull the marked tab, the bag seals permanently with industrial adhesive. The only way to access contents is by tearing along the designated tear line at the top, which clearly indicates the bag has been opened.
Q: Why would I remove the biohazard symbol?
A: Some specimens initially require biohazard handling but are later determined non-hazardous. Removing the symbol allows disposal in regular waste streams, significantly reducing biohazard disposal costs which can run 5-10x higher than standard waste.
Q: Are these bags suitable for shipping specimens between facilities?
A: Yes. The permanent tamper-evident seal and clear chain-of-custody indication make these bags appropriate for inter-facility specimen transport when used with proper secondary containment.
