Labplas TWIRL'EM Clear Clean Room bags are certified sterile sampling bags, sterile inside and out, for taking into highly controlled environments. Each bag is double-pouched with a gamma irradiation indicator on the outer pouch. Like all TWIRL'EM bags, they have a built-in wire closure that seals waterproof and airtight with a simple twirl and fold, and a tear-off perforated top.
This page covers two sizes, 5.5 × 15 in and 7 × 12 in, both with the standard 2-round-wire closure. Clean Room codes carry an "S" suffix (EPL-5515S, EPL-7012S). TWIRL'EM bags are available in Canada from Cambridge Environmental Products with CAD pricing and Canadian purchasing support.
Labplas describes its Clean Room line as certified sterile both inside and out. Each bag is packed in a double pouch: you remove the outer pouch before entering the controlled area and the inner pouch once inside, so the outside of the bag stays clean as it goes in. A gamma irradiation indicator on the outer pouch lets you check the bags have been irradiated before use.
The double pouch means neither the bag nor its inner wrapping has to cross into your controlled area dirty. You take off the outer pouch at the entry point and the inner pouch inside. For clean room classifications or documentation for your procedures, contact Cambridge and we'll get the details from Labplas.
Twirl the bag by the wire ends to wind the top closed, then fold the wires over to lock it. The sample is sealed waterproof and airtight for transport, without caps, clips or heat sealers. A tear-off perforated top keeps the opening clean until you sample.
The polyethylene-blend film meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and EU Regulation No 10/2011 for food contact, according to Labplas. That matters when bags hold food samples or product destined for testing.
Labplas lists a 5-year shelf life when stored dry at room temperature, so cases of 1,000 can be kept on hand without waste.
Both Clean Room bags use the standard closure (2 round wires). Choose the size in the selector. For general lab use, see TWIRL'EM Clear.
