Used as part of the packaging requirements for UN3373 when transporting Biological Substance Category B animal/human specimen packaging. Absorbent pouches are part of the secondary packaging requirements for safe transport that comply with DOT and IATA shipping regulations.
These pouches are available at RDiproducts.com.
The pouches collect leakage if the primary receptacle is compromised. The absorbent pouches act as a layer of protection, keeping sample tubes cushioned and separated in transit if leakage occurs. Leakage of sample tubes can cause contamination and potentially infection. Therefore, the pouches were developed to contain liquid and provide extra safety at all touch points in the transportation chain and to the lab technicians when received ready for testing at the lab.
