Custom UN3373 Packaging Solutions by Expert Medicals
When transporting Biological Substance Category B specimens—whether animal or human—under UN3373 regulations, absorbent pouches are essential for maintaining both safety and compliance. Serving as a critical element of the secondary packaging layer, these pouches are fully aligned with IATA and DOT shipping guidelines, ensuring regulatory adherence throughout the transport process.
Absorbent Pads for Sample Integrity and Safety
In the event of unexpected leakage during transit, absorbent pads play a vital role in protecting sample integrity and maintaining compliance. Designed to support the transport of Biological Substance Category B under UN3373 regulations, these pouches provide an essential safeguard within your sample collection kit.
Our absorbent pads offer a dual function:
- Liquid containment in the event of primary receptacle failure
- Cushioned separation to protect and stabilise sample tubes during transport
This combination significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and supports infection control protocols throughout the logistics process.
Engineered for high absorbency, these pouches efficiently capture spills while also preventing tube-to-tube contact—ensuring both safety and regulatory compliance.
Our absorbent pads are fully compatible with UN3373 secondary packaging requirements.
Key Features of Absorbent Pads
- Suitable for Biological Substance Category B or Exempt Animal/Human Specimen packaging
- Designed for use as absorbent inserts within secondary packaging
- High absorption capacity – up to 16ml per pouch bay
- Separates and protects sample tubes, preventing contact and contamination
- Adds a cushioned layer to absorb shocks during handling and transit
- Customisable to meet specific packaging or operational requirements
Absorbency Requirements for UN3373 Compliance
Adhering to UN3373 regulations is critical when transporting specimens classified under Biological Substance, Category B. These regulations require a three-layer packaging system: a primary receptacle, enclosed within secondary packaging, and housed inside a rigid outer container.
A key component of the secondary layer is absorbent material, which must be included to manage any potential leakage during transit. Expert Medicals absorbent pads are specifically designed to fulfil this requirement, delivering reliable containment and meeting the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
