95kPa bags are leak proof plastic specimen bags designed for the transport of biological substances.
The 95kPa rating refers to the specimen bags ability to withstand an internal pressure of 95kPa without leaking, which is a requirement under Packing Instruction 650 (P650) for liquid UN3373 substances.
95kPa specimen bags are used for the shipment of substances, including:
Our biohazard specimen bags meet the requirements of Packing Instruction P650 and are compliant with IATA, DOT (49 CFR) and IMDG regulations. Used as the secondary packaging layer within a triple packaging system, our 95kPa bags sit between the primary receptacle and the outer packaging providing a leakproof and siftproof barrier.
Key features include:
UN3373 biological samples must be shipped using a triple packaging system in accordance with P650, requiring:
Primary receptacle is a leakproof container for liquid substances and siftproof for solids, used to hold the specimen. Secondary packaging must be leakproof for liquids and siftproof for solids. For liquid substances, the primary receptacle and secondary packaging must withstand an internal pressure of 95kPa without leakage, and this is fulfilled by the 95kPa specimen bag.
Outer packaging is a rigid box capable of passing a 1.2m drop test. Absorbent material and cushioning must be included, and shippers must refer to P650 for the complete set of packaging, labelling and documentation requirements.

A biohazard specimen bag is a leakproof bag used to contain and transport biological or medical samples. Biohazard specimen bags will be marked with a biohazard symbol to show that they contain hazardous contents.
Most specimen bags come with a pouch to allow accompanying documentation to be carried alongside the sample.
Yes, our 95kpa bags meet the requirements of Packing Instruction P650 and are compliant with DOT, IATA and IMDG regulations, which makes them suitable for shipping UN3373 category B substances across all modes of transport within the US and internationally.
95kPa bags are used as secondary packaging for transporting biological and medical samples. This includes UN3373 category B substances such as lab samples, diagnostic specimens, pathology samples and pharmaceutical materials.
Yes. 95kPa bags can be used alongside thermal control packaging for specimens that require temperature management in transit.
For temperature-sensitive UN3373 shipments, see our infectious substances temperature-control packaging.
Our 95kPs bags include tear notches so that they can be opened quickly and easily.
No, a 95kPa bag must be used as part of a compliant triple packaging system and can’t be used in isolation to meet UN3373 shipping requirements.
