biologic sampling

bi·o·log·ic sam·pling

denotes sampling that can be taken without jeopardy to the whole organism (for example, for hematologic or biochemic study). Because of the complexity of biologic samples, it is usually supposed that the source of the sample is thoroughly mixed and hence representative; this assumption is often not true, for example, in genetic studies in mosaic patients.
