Description  

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 yellow 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.

Why It Is Right for High-Volume Workflows

For Laboratory Staff

  • Perforated tearline strip enables rapid specimen access
  • Easy to open wearing gloves, reducing handling time and contamination risk
  • Document wallet remains intact when specimen compartment is opened
  • Yellow LDPE film supports quick visual identification for colour-coded workflows
  • Printed biohazard symbol and temperature storage checkboxes support fast processing

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

Key Features

  • Perforated tearline strip for rapid opening
  • Dual pouch design: Tearline specimen section and separate document pocket
  • Yellow LDPE film for high-visibility colour coding
  • Temperature storage checkboxes (Freeze, Refrigerate, Room Temperature)
  • Printed biohazard symbol and "SPECIMEN ONLY" marking
  • 240 × 160 mm size
  • Secure seal before opening, leak resistant during transport
  • Clinical grade PE film

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

How the Tearline Feature Works

During Collection & Transport

The specimen bag is fully sealed with the specimen secure in the main compartment and request forms in the separate document pocket. The tearline remains intact during transport, providing the same leak resistance as standard specimen bags.

At Laboratory Receipt

Laboratory staff simply tear along the perforated tearline strip at the top of the bag for instant access to the specimen compartment, making it faster and safer when wearing gloves.

The document pocket remains sealed and intact, keeping paperwork separate and readable while specimens are being processed.

Visual Verification & Temperature Marking

Yellow 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.

FAQs

How does the tearline feature work?

The tearline is a perforated strip across the top of the bag. Laboratory staff simply tear along this line for instant access to the specimen compartment. The bag remains fully sealed during collection and transport until the tearline is used.

Does the tearline affect the seal during transport?

No. Before the tearline is torn, the bag is fully sealed and leak resistant, just like standard specimen bags. The perforation only allows easy opening when needed—it doesn't compromise security during collection or transport.

What happens to the document pocket when I tear the bag open?

The tearline only opens the specimen compartment. The document pocket remains intact and sealed, keeping request forms clean, dry and readable while you process specimens.

Why choose tearline bags over standard grip seal bags?

Tearline bags are ideal for high-volume laboratories where processing speed matters. They're faster to open, easier to use when wearing gloves, and reduce handling time per specimen. This makes them perfect for busy pathology labs processing hundreds of specimens daily.

What containers fit the bag?

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

What are the temperature storage checkboxes for?

The printed checkboxes (Freeze, Refrigerate, Room Temperature) allow collection staff to indicate required specimen storage conditions. This ensures specimens receive proper handling throughout the transport and processing chain.

How many bags come in each pack?

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

Can I use yellow tearline bags for the same specimens as standard yellow bags?

Yes, yellow tearline specimen bags have the same material quality, compliance standards and colour-coding applications as standard yellow bags. The tearline feature simply adds convenience for rapid laboratory processing. Choose tearline for high-volume workflows, or standard grip seal for transport-focused applications.

Are tearline bags available in other colours?

Yes, Zeropac offers tearline specimen bags in green, blue and yellow to support colour-coded workflows. Standard grip seal bags are available in clear, blue, yellow, green, purple (cytotoxic) and red (urgent).

Is the tearline easy to use when wearing gloves?

Yes, this is one of the main advantages. The tearline is designed to tear cleanly and easily even when wearing laboratory gloves, reducing handling time and improving workflow efficiency.

Perfect for: High-volume pathology laboratories, busy collection centres, multi-site healthcare facilities with rapid turnaround requirements, colour-coded specimen workflows, departments prioritising processing speed and efficiency

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

Best For: Labs processing 100+ specimens daily, time-critical testing workflows, glove-wearing staff requiring rapid bag opening
