UN3373 refers to **Biological Substance, Category B**, which includes patient specimens, blood samples, and other potentially infectious materials that are transported for testing and research purposes. The **P650 packaging instruction** outlines strict packaging requirements to ensure safe transportation and compliance with international standards. Proper labeling, leakproof containment, and impact-resistant outer packaging are all essential components.
