Trusted research phlebotomists delivering accurate, safe, and professional mobile specimen collection services for clinical and research laboratories nationwide.
Supporting Research with Professional Phlebotomy Services
At the National Phlebotomy Provider Network (NPPN), we understand the precise needs of research laboratories. Whether you’re conducting an FDA-regulated clinical trial, an observational study, or working in biotech or diagnostic development, our mobile services are designed to support your work. Our directly employed research phlebotomists are highly trained in protocol adherence and patient care, offering both professionalism and flexibility.
We act as a strategic partner, not just a vendor, helping you improve participant retention, minimize protocol deviations, and keep your timelines on track. Our team coordinates specimen collection and delivery from start to finish, allowing your researchers to focus on the science, not logistics.
Mobile Phlebotomy Designed for Research Workflows
NPPN offers flexible specimen collection options tailored to the structure of your study. Whether you need patient visits at home or collection support on-site at your facility, we adapt to your environment.
For studies involving home-based or geographically dispersed participants, our mobile phlebotomists visit the participant’s home at the scheduled time, collect the specimen according to your instructions, and transport it securely to the designated laboratory or shipping carrier. This approach reduces missed appointments and improves participant comfort and compliance.
In cases where your study requires on-site support, such as a multi-participant visit day or a recurring clinic-based trial, our technicians can be scheduled for half-day or full-day service blocks. They arrive on-site, handle specimen collection and basic processing if required, and coordinate secure delivery.
Specialized Experience with Research Protocols
We know that clinical research requires more than just a routine blood draw. From timed sample collections to fasting protocols, barcoded labels, and lab-specific documentation, our research phlebotomists are trained to follow instructions with exactness.
NPPN has supported a wide range of studies, including pharmaceutical trials across all phases, nutraceutical and wellness research, population health initiatives, and genetic testing projects. Our team has experience with IRB-approved protocols, consent documentation procedures, and sponsor-specific guidelines.
Each technician is not only technically proficient, but also understands how to interact with participants in a way that reflects your organization’s values and compliance standards.

Safety, Compliance, and Infection Control
Our work is grounded in safety and compliance. Although the COVID-19 public health emergency has officially ended, our protocols remain consistent with CDC and OSHA guidelines. All phlebotomists follow strict biosafety standards, including the use of personal protective equipment and aseptic technique, especially when working with immunocompromised or vulnerable participants.
This commitment to safety helps ensure that your team and your participants remain protected, while maintaining the integrity of each specimen collected.
Handling Lab Kits and Diagnostic Testing Materials
Many research labs use third-party diagnostic kits or require special handling protocols. Our phlebotomists are highly experienced in working with lab kits and customized collection procedures. Whether it’s saliva collection, fingerstick blood, or multiple-tube venipuncture with special preservatives, our team understands how to handle complex kits with care.
We will collect, process (when required), package, and drop off your kits at the designated carrier, whether FedEx, UPS, USPS, or a courier service, ensuring compliance with shipping timelines and sample viability requirements.
Nationwide Coverage and Scalable Support
NPPN provides services in all major U.S. metropolitan areas. For studies with national or multi-site footprints, we can recruit and train phlebotomists to cover new territories based on your timeline. Our field operations team handles onboarding, scheduling, and logistical oversight, so your study can expand without friction.
If your trial enrolls participants in locations outside traditional clinical settings, or if you need to add new study sites quickly, we can scale with you and ensure consistent service delivery across regions.
