Japanese term or phrase: 回収する
I wonder 回収する in the following example can be "recover" or just "collect"
as "recover" means "to get back something (regain)."

The sample is loaded on the system in the first step.
まず検体がシステムに投入される。
The sample is then recovered/collected.
そして検体を回収する。

Thank you

retrieve
Explanation:
I think in this context "retrieve" works best as it follows putting the specimen in and distinguishes between collecting from patients/subjects.
