What is UN3373?

Transporting biological samples is a critical link in the diagnostic and research chain, yet it comes with a web of regulations and risks. Laboratories and healthcare facilities must navigate complex guidelines to ensure safety, integrity, and legality. At the heart of compliant transport lies one essential question: What is UN3373?

Understanding UN3373: The Non-Infectious Standard
UN3373 is the internationally recognized UN Packaging Code for “Biological Substance, Category B.” This classification covers diagnostic specimens, biological products, and samples that are not believed to contain pathogens posing a high risk to life. However, they may still contain pathogens of lower risk. The law mandates that any transport of biological samples classified as Category B must use certified packaging that passes rigorous performance tests, including a pressure altitude simulation. This is where our core solution excels.

Your Complete Transport Solution for Temperature-Sensitive Biological Samples

Beyond containment, sample viability is paramount. The AI 650 95kPa Specimen Bag is engineered as a robust transport solution for temperature-sensitive biological samples. Its durable, multi-layered construction provides an exceptional moisture and puncture-resistant barrier. When used with appropriate temperature-conditioned cool packs or thermal liners, it creates a stable micro-environment, protecting your valuable samples from external thermal fluctuations throughout the journey.

Engineered for Global Compliance: ADR, IATA, and WHO
Compliance isn’t optional. Our packaging is designed to meet the strictest global standards.

Transport of biological samples according to ADR (the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) requires certified, leak-proof, and pressure-resistant packaging. The AI 650 bag is tested and certified to withstand a 95kPa internal pressure differential, simulating aircraft cargo hold conditions, far exceeding standard requirements for road safety.

Similarly, for transport of biological samples according to WHO guidelines and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), a triple-packaging system (primary receptacle, secondary packaging, outer rigid packaging) is mandatory. Our bag serves as the perfect, compliant secondary container, containing any potential leaks from primary tubes and vials.

Why the AI 650 95kPa Specimen Bag is the Smarter Choice
This isn’t just another polythene bag. It’s a certified component in your safety protocol. By choosing the AI 650, you gain:

• Regulatory Confidence: Ship with certainty, knowing you fully comply with UN3373, ADR, IATA, and WHO directives.
• Sample Integrity: Superior protection against physical damage, leakage, and temperature compromise.
• Operational Efficiency: Ready-to-use, reliable packaging that simplifies your logistics and reduces risk.
• Don’t let packaging be the weakest link in your chain of custody. Upgrade to the compliant, secure, and intelligent standard.
