  -> Thank you Diane.
neutral  liz askew: I don't think it means "collecting/fetching samples".// I see your point, it's just that surely in anybody's book "rapatriement" = return/repatriation/removal/deportation [of whatever]

  -> It depends on the context Liz, but the French is bad.
agree  Swatchka: I'd have thought it was return to the lab or something. But your option covers more possibilities. :))
