Common Questions
Q: What size containers fit in a 13x18 specimen transfer bag?
A: The 13x18 interior comfortably holds specimen cups up to 5" diameter, multiple blood collection tubes, urine containers, and accompanying requisition forms. Allow 1-2" clearance for the adhesive closure area.
Q: How does the tamper-evident feature work?
A: The adhesive closure creates a permanent bond when sealed. Any attempt to open the bag tears the material or leaves visible evidence, maintaining chain-of-custody integrity for regulatory compliance.

A: These bags provide secure containment for routine specimen transport. For biohazard classification, verify your facility's specific labeling and secondary containment requirements.
