Biohazard specimen bags are a critical line of defense in healthcare, laboratories, and hazardous material handling. Designed to safely contain and transport infectious substances, these bags protect personnel, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure compliance with global safety regulations. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes a high-quality biohazard bag—and how the AI650 Specimen Bag raises the bar for performance and reliability.
What Are Biohazard Specimen Bags?
Biohazard bags are puncture-resistant, leak-proof containers marked with the universal biohazard symbol (☣). They are used to securely store and transport:
1. Blood, tissue, or fluid samples
2. Pathogens (e.g., viruses, bacteria)
3. Chemotherapy waste
4. Sharps (when paired with rigid containers)
Regulatory Compliance: Bags must meet standards like OSHA (US), WHO, and UN 3373 for Category B biological substances.
Key Features of a Reliable Biohazard Bag
Not all biohazard bags are created equal. Here’s what to prioritize:
1.Material Durability: Thick, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or polypropylene.
Resistant to tears, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
2.Seal Integrity: Double-seal closures (e.g., zip-lock + adhesive strip) to prevent leaks.
3.Labeling: Pre-printed biohazard symbols and tracking labels.
4.Pressure Resistance:Withstand pressure changes during transport (critical for air shipping).
The AI650 Advantage:
95kPa Pressure Rating: Maintains integrity under rigorous conditions.
Triple-Layer Security: Inner leak-proof liner, tear-resistant outer shell, and tamper-evident seal.
Compliance Ready: Meets WHO, UN 3373, and IATA standards.
Applications of the AI650 Biohazard Specimen Bag
1.Healthcare Facilities:
Safely dispose of contaminated PPE, swabs, or diagnostic samples.
2.Laboratories:
Transport high-risk pathogens or research specimens.
3.Waste Management:
Collect and sterilize medical waste for incineration.
4.Global Logistics:
Airworthy design for international shipping of Category B materials.
Why Choose the AI650 Model?
1.Unmatched Safety:
Tested against 95kPa pressure (exceeding most industry norms).
100% leak-proof guarantee, even with sharp objects.
2.User-Friendly Design:
Wide opening for easy loading.
Color-coded labels for quick hazard identification.
3.Eco-Conscious:
Made from recyclable LDPE (where facilities permit).
4.Cost-Effective:
Bulk pricing for hospitals, labs, and distributors.
Best Practices for Using Biohazard Bags
1.Fill Limit: Never exceed ¾ capacity to avoid rupture.
Secondary Containment: Place bags in rigid containers for sharps or fragile samples.
2.Disposal: Follow local regulations for autoclaving, incineration, or licensed waste removal.
The Future of Biohazard Management
As biosecurity demands grow, innovations like the AI650 Specimen Bag are setting new benchmarks. With its blend of durability, compliance, and user-centric design, it’s the go-to choice for professionals who refuse to compromise on safety.
