Sampling Method

Mother's Blood Sample Collection:

A safe blood draw from the pregnant mother's arm (venipuncture) should be performed at Clinics or by a professional medical assistant (nurse/phlebotomist). All blood sample should be collected with special cell-free preservation collection tubes (from Streck, Roche, PAXgene from Qiagen/BD or Vangenes) for transportation.

If you need to find a possible clinic site on your end for blood specimen collection, please contact us for assistance.

You can also use filters to narrow down your search results, such as sorting by ratings or distance.
