Methods and apparatus for correlating blood, tissue samples or donor suitability with a donor or recipient while optionally preserving anonymity for the prospective donor are described. One method may include steps of collecting a blood sample (14) from the donor and taking biometric data (37) from the donor. The biometric data permit a high order of probability of correlation of the donor with the blood sample (14) and with test results derived from the blood sample. The method optionally further includes a step of providing the donor with a unique correlating code also for permitting unique correlation of the donor with the blood sample and with test results derived from the blood sample and may further optionally include a step of labeling the blood sample (14) with information including the biometric data (37).
