Yes! I've never heard this expression either! Well, I guess I have to follow the Laboratory's way of referring to it.
Thank you so much Roxane and Muriel :)
Roxane Dow May 6, 2015:
Draw Station I've never seen "Draw Station" used in this context, but perhaps it's used outside of the U.S. in another English-speaking country.
Muriel Vasconcellos May 6, 2015:
@ Shirley I've never heard 'Draw Station', though it's understandable. I think our answers are more commonly used. I'm a big proponent of choosing the most widely used term - it's a principle of Theory of Terminology.
Shirley Shcolnik (asker) May 6, 2015:
Thank you all for the answers.
Actually a friend of mine who also works with translations Portuguese- English told me this afternoon that she uses the term: DRAW STATION.
I also agree with "Laboratory Collection Center" . What do you think about "Draw station"?
Thank you again :)
Muriel Vasconcellos May 2, 2015:
Duplicate answers I didn't see Roxane's answer before I started working on mine; we were both researching examples at the same time.
