Absorbing Tubeholders 1-6 positions

Used as part of packaging requirements for UN3373 when transporting Biological Substance Category B including or Exempt Animal/Human Specimen packaging. The absorbent bay pouch is used as part of the secondary packaging requirements for safe transport that comply with DOT and IATA shipping regulations.

The Absorbing Tubeholders collect leakage if the primary receptacle is compromised. The absorbent pouch acts 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.
