Medical and Laboratory Applications
The 12x15 size accommodates standard specimen containers, culture plates, and multiple sample vials in a single secure bag. Hospital laboratories use these bags for transporting blood samples, tissue specimens, and culture media between departments. Clinical testing facilities rely on the 2-wall construction to prevent leakage during courier transport. Research laboratories use the distinctive purple tint to segregate biohazardous waste from general laboratory materials. The clear biohazard symbol meets OSHA requirements for proper labeling of potentially infectious materials.
Key Features
- 2-Wall Construction: Dual-layer design provides enhanced leak protection and puncture resistance for liquid specimens
- Purple Tint: Distinctive color coding for immediate visual identification of biohazardous contents

Proper Usage Guidelines
For optimal performance, place specimen containers upright within the bag before sealing. The 2-wall design provides secondary containment, but absorbent materials should still be included when transporting liquid specimens per standard protocols. The reclosable seal allows laboratory personnel to add or remove specimens without compromising bag integrity. Store bags in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain material properties.
Common Questions
Q: What specimen containers fit in a 12x15 biohazard bag?
A: The 12x15 size accommodates standard specimen cups (up to 4oz), multiple blood collection tubes, petri dishes, and culture plates. Interior usable space is approximately 11x14" with the seal area.
Q: Does the purple tint affect visibility of contents?
A: The tint is translucent enough to verify contents without opening. You can see specimen containers, labels, and fill levels while maintaining the visual segregation that purple provides.
Q: Are these bags autoclavable?
A: These LDPE bags are not designed for autoclaving. For heat sterilization applications, transfer contents to autoclave-safe containers before processing.
