Biohazard Bags

<h2 dir="ltr">What are Biohazard Bags?</h2>
 Biohazard bags are polyethylene pouches printed with the universal biohazard symbol and standardized warning text, used to contain, transport, and dispose of biological specimens and infectious waste in clinical, diagnostic, and research laboratory settings. They are manufactured in two functionally distinct categories: specimen transport bags (thin-walled LDPE, zipper-closure, with document pouch) for routing patient specimens from collection point to laboratory; and autoclave/waste bags (heavy-gauge polypropylene, heat-sealable) for containing infectious solid waste before steam sterilization at 121&ndash;136 &deg;C. Choose a specimen transport bag for courier or inter-department specimen routing; choose an autoclave bag for infectious solid waste destined for steam sterilization.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose Biohazard Bags</h2>
 Specimen Transport vs. Waste/Autoclave Function Specimen transport bags (Globe Scientific catalog 4923&ndash;4950) are LDPE, zipper-locked, with a separate document pouch for the requisition form and a tear zone for rapid opening at the receiving lab. They are not rated for autoclaving. Autoclave bags (PP, 0.05 mm, 12&times;26 in. or 24&times;32 in.) withstand 121&ndash;136 &deg;C sterilization cycles and comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 markings for biohazardous waste disposal. Size Selection for Specimen Transport Globe Scientific offers 6&times;9 in. (for blood tubes, urine cups, small specimens), 8&times;10 in. (for multiple tubes or swab collections), and 12&times;15 in. (for large containers, pathology specimens). The 6&times;9 in. bag with absorbent pad (catalog 4924) is the most common format for clinical specimen routing; the pad absorbs up to 10 mL of liquid in the event of tube breakage. Absorbent Pad Requirement IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the UN3373 Biological Substance Category B shipping requirements mandate an absorbent material sufficient to absorb the total liquid volume of the primary container. The 6&times;9 in. with absorbent pad format meets this requirement for standard tube shipments. Confirm pad absorbency against your primary container volume before use in P650 mailing kits. STAT vs. Standard Globe Scientific STAT bags (catalog 4950) are red-tinted 6&times;9 in. bags with a document pouch and tear zone &mdash; the red color alerts laboratory staff to prioritize the specimen. Use STAT bags for critical or time-sensitive specimens that bypass standard routing. Closure Type Zipper-closure bags allow repeated access and are used where the specimen may need to be resealed for courier transit. Glue-closure (tamper-evident seal) bags prevent re-opening and are preferred for chain-of-custody specimens (forensics, drug testing) and any application where tamper evidence is required.
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 Globe Scientific specimen transport bags are manufactured from LDPE with a printed biohazard symbol and special handling checkboxes. The 6&times;9 in. standard format (catalog 4923) and STAT format (4950) hold cases of 1,000 bags (100/pack &times; 10 packs). The 8&times;10 in. (4926) and 12&times;15 in. (4929) formats are cases of 1,000 and 500, respectively. Autoclave bags used for infectious solid waste must comply with OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), which requires fluorescent orange or orange-red color-coding or a biohazard symbol on all containers holding regulated waste. Globe Scientific biohazard bags are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards. Bags are non-sterile; sterile transport systems for specimens requiring sterility assurance should use appropriately certified collection vessels inside the bag.
