3-Wall Construction Benefits
The three-wall design is the defining feature of Lab-Loc specimen transfer bags. The inner compartment holds the specimen container securely, while the outer pouch provides a separate space for requisition forms, patient identification labels, and chain of custody documentation. This physical separation prevents cross-contamination between paperwork and biological materials while keeping all associated documents with their specimens throughout the transfer process. No more hunting for misplaced requisition slips or reattaching separated labels.
Medical & Laboratory Applications
These specimen bags serve critical functions across healthcare settings. Hospital labs use them for routine blood draws and urinalysis specimen transport from nursing stations. Pathology departments rely on them for biopsy and tissue sample transfers. Clinical reference laboratories receive hundreds of incoming specimens daily in Lab-Loc bags from physician offices and outpatient facilities. The grey opaque material is particularly valued in busy hospital corridors where specimen privacy must be maintained during transport between departments.

Common Questions
Q: What size specimen containers fit in the 6x10.25 Lab-Loc bag?
A: This size accommodates standard urine cups, small blood tube sets (up to 5-6 tubes), and specimen containers up to approximately 5" wide. For larger containers or multiple tube sets, consider the larger Lab-Loc sizes.
Q: Is the tamper-evident seal permanent once closed?
A: Yes, the adhesive closure is designed as a one-time seal. Once pressed closed, attempting to open the bag will show visible evidence of tampering, which is essential for chain of custody documentation and laboratory accreditation requirements.
Q: Why choose grey opaque instead of clear specimen bags?
A: Grey opaque bags provide specimen privacy during transport through public areas of healthcare facilities. Many hospitals require opaque bags as part of their HIPAA compliance protocols for transporting identifiable patient specimens.
