Green Tearline Pathology Specimen Bag

Three-Wall Specimen Bags with Tearline Opening and Document Pocket

Speed up specimen processing with rapid-access tearline technology. This three-wall specimen carrier bag includes a dual pouch design with a perforated tearline strip for quick opening, a sealed specimen compartment and a separate document wallet (document pocket) for request forms.

The green LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) film with tearline feature provides high-visibility colour coding and rapid specimen access across collection centres, clinics and laboratories for location-based, department-specific or test-specific specimen identification.

How This Accelerates High-Volume Workflows

For Laboratory Staff

• Perforated tearline strip enables rapid specimen access without tools
• Easy to open wearing gloves, reducing handling time and contamination risk
• Document wallet stays intact when you open the specimen compartment
• Green LDPE film supports quick visual identification for colour-coded workflows
• Printed biohazard symbol and temperature storage checkboxes support fast processing
• Clean tear line delivers consistent opening every time

For Collection Staff

• Secure sealed compartment for safe transport before tearline is used
• Temperature storage options clearly marked (Freeze, Refrigerate, Room Temperature)
• "SPECIMEN ONLY" marking prevents documentation errors

For Procurement & Facility Managers

• 1,000 units per carton supports stock control for high-volume labs
• Consistent sizing fits standard pathology containers
• Fast delivery from the Sydney warehouse
• Reduces processing time in busy pathology workflows
• Reliable perforation quality ensures staff efficiency

Use Cases

High-Volume Laboratory Settings

• Pathology labs processing hundreds of specimens daily
• Busy collection centres requiring rapid specimen access
• Multi-site facilities needing fast turnaround times
• Laboratories using colour-coded systems for department or location identification

Workflow Applications

• High-throughput pathology workflows requiring rapid specimen processing
• Time-critical testing where seconds matter
• Departments needing glove-friendly bag opening
• Colour-coded specimen collection for different testing departments or locations
• Facilities requiring clear temperature storage protocols

Clinical Settings

• Hospital pathology departments processing emergency specimens
• Outpatient collection centres with high patient volumes
• Private pathology services requiring fast processing times
• Reference laboratories handling urgent test requests

How the Tearline Feature Works

During collection and transport, specimens stay secure in the sealed main compartment while request forms stay separate in the document pocket. The tearline stays intact during transport, providing the same leak resistance as standard zip lock specimen bags.

At laboratory receipt, staff tear along the perforated tearline strip at the top for instant specimen access. This works faster and safer when wearing gloves. The document pocket stays sealed and intact, keeping paperwork separate and readable while staff process specimens.

The tearline perforation delivers a clean, consistent tear every time. Staff avoid struggling with manual bag opening or needing tools to access specimens. This reduces handling time per specimen and speeds processing in high-volume workflows.

Visual Verification and Temperature Marking

Green film provides instant visual identification during collection, sorting, transport and lab receipt. The printed biohazard symbol, "SPECIMEN ONLY" marking and temperature storage checkboxes (Freeze, Refrigerate, Room Temperature) support accreditation needs and ensure specimens receive proper handling according to facility-specific colour-coding and storage protocols.

Facilities can use green tearline bags for location-specific identification (different collection sites), department-specific workflows (particular lab sections), or test-specific processing (certain specimen types). The high-contrast green colour prevents mix-ups during busy processing periods.
