Box Infectious Sample Transportation (Product Code: SLE/CL/20) is a leak-proof, three-layer packaging system for moving potentially infectious specimens from a collection site to a testing laboratory. The primary packing holds 4 to 6 vacuum tubes of 5 to 7 ml, the secondary packing is a 40 x 150 mm plastic container fitted with absorbent material, and the outer cardboard box has inserts that act as barriers plus space for a cool-pack or dry ice. Health facilities, reference laboratories and surveillance programmes use it to send blood and other samples safely. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its work as a lab consumables supplier in India.

Samples collected at a clinic, outbreak site or field survey often have to travel to a regional or reference laboratory. In this box the capped vacuum tubes form the primary layer; they are placed inside the plastic secondary container, where the absorbent material would soak up liquid if a tube leaked or broke; and the secondary container then sits in the cardboard outer box. The request forms should travel outside the secondary container so paperwork stays clean and readable.
For short journeys, place a conditioned 0.3 L cool-pack in the integrated space to keep samples cool; for long-distance transport the same space is used for dry ice. Close each layer fully, label the outer box as your carrier and local rules require, and record the dispatch time. Keeping a few boxes ready at each collection point avoids improvised packaging when an urgent referral comes up — and for programmes that source internationally, the compact outer dimensions help when planning lab equipment export from India by air.
