Versatile Packaging for Clinical Environments

Smart Safety

Exempt specimens follow simple transport standards, triple packaging, leak prevention, and clear “Exempt Human Specimen” or “Exempt Animal Specimen” marking. No UN number or shipping name is needed, so workflows stay streamlined and hassle-free.

Absorbent Security for Liquids

When transporting liquids, absorbent material is always placed between the primary and secondary containers, capable of absorbing the full specimen volume in case of an accidental leak.

Leakproof and Flexible

Every specimen is sealed in a leakproof primary container, followed by a leakproof secondary barrier and sturdy outer packaging, ensuring prevention of spills and cross-contamination during transit.

Rigorous Outer Protection

Outer packaging must be strong, rigid, and feature at least one side larger than 100 mm by 100 mm, supporting regulatory compliance and protecting contents from damage throughout handling.

Clear and Compliant Marking

Packages are clearly labeled “Exempt Human Specimen” or “Exempt Animal Specimen” on the address side, pre-printed or handwritten, so couriers and labs recognize shipments as non-dangerous goods.

Simple Cold Chain Support

For specimens needing temperature control, leakproof and compliant packaging works with ice packs, dry ice venting, or refrigeration, keeping samples viable and compliant with cooling regulations.

FAQS

Popular Questions

What is considered an exempt patient specimen for shipping?

An exempt specimen is a sample from a human or animal with minimal likelihood of pathogens, such as blood, urine, or tissues for routine testing not related to infectious disease diagnosis.

What packaging is required for exempt specimens?

Triple packaging is the standard: a leak-proof primary container, a leak-proof secondary container, and a strong outer box, with absorbent used for liquids between layers.

How must exempt specimen packages be labeled?

Yes, the outer package must display the UN3373 diamond mark and the proper shipping name “Biological Substance, Category B,” plus names and contact info for shipper and receiver.

Is documentation required for exempt specimen shipments?

No shipper’s declaration or special paperwork is needed when sending exempt specimens; only the correct packaging and required labeling are necessary.

Can exempt biological samples be shipped with cooling materials?

Yes, cooling materials like ice packs or dry ice can be used if the packaging meets leak-proof or venting requirements, depending on the refrigerant used.

What if there’s uncertainty about a specimen’s infectious status?

When in doubt, do not ship as exempt; instead use Category B or A requirements, following stricter protocols to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
