A sample collection bag made with heavy-duty polyethylene tubing with a wire tie to provide adequate closure. Ideal for sample collection and testing, these tough bags are designed to meet stringent laboratory testing needs and have the strength needed to endure the sample preparation process. The tear-off top ensures the inside of the bag is free of contamination until ready for use. Once the desired sample has been added, the open top is folded over itself and then the wire tie is bent over the fold to keep the contents of the bag from leaking. Considering the availability and variety of plastic films in existence, polyethylene (PE) is one of the safest and most versatile materials available.
