A specimen bag is a specialized, leak-resistant plastic bag designed to safely contain and transport biological specimens – including blood, urine, tissue, and other clinical samples – from collection sites to diagnostic laboratories. These bags serve as secondary packaging that holds primary specimen containers (such as tubes, vials, or culture dishes) while providing an additional layer of protection against leakage, contamination, and exposure.
