Frequently Asked Questions
What is a laboratory specimen bag?A laboratory specimen bag is a clear, leak-resistant plastic bag used to carry blood, urine, tissue and other medical samples from the collection point to the lab. Prism Pak specimen bags are made from FDA food-safe polyethylene (LDPE/LLDPE) and close with a zipper seal, press-to-close track, or adhesive strip so the sample stays contained in transit. Are laboratory specimen bags suitable for biohazard specimens?Yes — we offer biohazard-rated specimen bags with a red tint and printed biohazard symbol for infectious or potentially hazardous samples. Standard clear bags are appropriate for non-infectious specimens. What sizes do laboratory specimen bags come in?Common sizes run from 4" x 6" for small sample vials up to 12" x 15" for larger specimens or several sample containers at once. Custom sizes are available on bulk orders. What thickness of specimen bag should I use?Use a 2-mil bag for lightweight items like sample vials, slides and swabs, and step up to 4-mil or 6-mil for heavier containers, rigid or sharp-edged items, and longer transport routes where puncture resistance matters. We stock 2-mil through 6-mil in the same clear polyethylene. Can specimen bags be refrigerated or frozen?Yes — polyethylene specimen bags stay flexible at refrigerator and freezer temperatures, so chilled and frozen samples can be stored and transported without the bag becoming brittle or cracking. Do specimen bags meet healthcare compliance standards?All Prism Pak laboratory specimen bags are manufactured from FDA food-safe materials and meet OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards when used with appropriate biohazard protocols. What is the minimum order quantity on specimen bags?We sell at wholesale pricing with competitive case minimums.
