Yellow Pathology Specimen Bag

Three-Wall Specimen Bags with Document Pocket

Keep specimens secure and paperwork clean without cross contamination. This three-wall specimen carrier bag includes a dual pouch design with a sealed grip seal (press seal) zip-lock compartment for the sample container and a separate document wallet (document pocket) for request forms.

The yellow LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) film provides high-visibility colour coding across collection centres, clinics, and laboratories for location-based or test-specific specimen identification.

Use Cases

Hospital & Clinical Settings

• Hospital wards using colour-coded specimen collection systems
• Pathology labs processing specimens from multiple locations
• Multi-site facilities requiring location identification
• Aged care facilities with department-specific testing protocols

Workflow Applications

• Colour-coded specimen collection for different testing departments or locations
• Location-specific pathology workflows (e.g., yellow for Site A, clear for Site B)
• Test-specific identification systems (e.g., yellow for microbiology, clear for general path)
• Multi-centre operations requiring visual differentiation between collection points

How the Bag Supports Safe Collection

The grip seal pocket secures the specimen container. The document wallet keeps forms and labels separate from the sample.

Staff place the sealed bag into tubs or hand it to couriers without risk of contamination, moisture damage, or handling errors. The yellow colour coding supports rapid visual sorting based on your facility's protocols.

Visual Verification

Yellow film provides instant visual identification during collection, sorting, transport, and lab receipt. The printed biohazard symbol and clear instructions support accreditation needs and ensure specimens are processed according to facility-specific colour-coding systems.

FAQs

Does the document pocket prevent leaks?

The separate document wallet isolates paperwork from the specimen area, preventing contamination and moisture damage.

What containers fit the bag?

The 260 × 160 mm size fits common vials, tubes, and containers used in pathology collection.

Is the biohazard symbol clearly visible on yellow film?

Yes, the black printed biohazard symbol and text provide high contrast against the yellow background for easy identification.

How secure is the grip seal lock?

The press seal closure holds specimens securely during short haul transport between collection points and laboratories.

How many bags come in each pack?

Each pack contains 100 bags. Cartons contain 1,000 bags (10 packs of 100).

Why choose yellow specimen bags over clear bags?

Yellow bags are ideal for facilities using colour-coded specimen systems to identify different locations, testing departments, or specimen types. Many multi-site operations use yellow for specific collection centres or test categories, while using clear bags for general pathology. The colour coding reduces sorting errors and speeds up specimen processing.

Can I use yellow bags for the same specimens as clear bags?

Yes, yellow specimen bags have the same design, material quality, and compliance standards as clear bags. The only difference is the colour, which you can adapt to your facility's specific workflow needs.

What colour-coding systems work with these bags?

Common uses include: location identification (e.g., yellow = Building A, clear = Building B), department sorting (e.g., yellow = microbiology, clear = general path), or shift identification (e.g., yellow = morning collection, clear = afternoon). The system is flexible to match your operational needs.

Perfect for: Multi-site healthcare facilities, hospitals with colour-coded protocols, pathology labs processing specimens from multiple locations, facilities requiring visual differentiation systems.

Colour Coding Standard: Yellow for location-specific or test-specific identification based on facility protocols.
