6. SAMPLE COLLECTION 6.1 The collection of the Sample using the Pharmacells collection kit will be carried out by a Phlebotomist who is an appropriately qualified and authorised person to collect peripheral blood. The Phlebotomist operates under an agreement with Pharmacells for blood collection in accordance with the Regulations. 6.2 The Phlebotomist will not collect your Sample until they have completed a risk assessment form which is necessary to confirm the safe handling and collection of your Sample.
