With strict regulations applying to the transportation of biological samples such as blood, specimens need to be transported in UN3373 compliant packaging.
The latest SpeciSafe packs available from Alpha Laboratories are designed to provide a safe, convenient, economical and compliant mailing solution for Category B samples.
SpeciSafe secondary packaging has an internally bonded super absorbent lining within a single piece shock resistant container.
Users simply insert their 95kPa blood vial and place the whole pack directly in a padded envelope or bag, ready for posting.
The SpeciSafe lining soaks up any fluid from leaking vials in seconds. The material is designed to be so absorbent that 1m2 retains as much as 20 litres of liquid, the company claims.
Once the lining has absorbed its maximum volume of liquid, it creates a watertight barrier and effectively seals the SpeciSafe pack eliminating the risk of any leakage from the secondary container.
SpeciSafe packs are available in a range of designs to fit around commonly used 95 kPa sample vessels, including packs for one, three, four or five sample containers covering the commonly used blood vials, including Vacutainer, Vacuette and Vacutest, among others.
One side is made of clear plastic to enable visibility of sample details without unpacking and to provide visible spillage indication to protect the user.
