Ensuring Safe and Efficient Specimen Transport with ai650 Specimen Bags
Release time: 2025-07-01
Specimen collection is a cornerstone of medical diagnostics and research, requiring specialized containers to ensure the integrity of samples like blood, urine, stool, tissue, and other bodily fluids. The types of containers used vary based on the sample and testing requirements:
| Container Type | Description | Common Uses |
| Blood Collection Tubes | Color-coded tubes with additives (e.g., red for serum, lavender for EDTA) | Blood tests, serology, hematology |
| Urine Collection Containers | Cups, bottles, or bags, often with preservatives | Urinalysis, drug testing |
| Stool Collection Containers | Wide-mouthed containers with screw caps, sometimes with transport media | Fecal analysis, parasite testing |
| Swabs | Sterile swabs with or without transport media | Cultures (e.g., throat, wound) |
| Tissue Collection Containers | Formalin-filled jars or cassettes | Histology, pathology |
| Specimen Transport Bags | Polyethylene bags with biohazard symbols, document pouches, and absorbent pads | Safe transport of various specimens |
These containers ensure samples remain uncontaminated and suitable for accurate testing (UAMS Clinical Laboratory).
The Role of Specimen Transport Bags
Specimen transport bags are essential for moving biological samples safely from collection sites to laboratories. These bags are typically made of 2-mil thick polyethylene, offering durability and flexibility. Key features include:
- Secure Closures: Ziplock for repeated access or adhesive for tamper-evident sealing.
- Biohazard Symbols: Clearly indicate potentially infectious contents for safe handling.
- Document Pouches: Separate paperwork from specimens to prevent contamination.
- Absorbent Pads: Contain leaks, protecting both samples and personnel (Vitality Medical).
These features make specimen bags indispensable for maintaining sample integrity and complying with regulations like those from SAMHSA and the Department of Transportation (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
