My apologies, I have not gone through the other answers. However, here are some practical tips:

There are independent Human Ethics committees that you can apply to who can then rule on them.
You can always ask for a waiver if the blood sample is going to be provided by the principal investigator in an investigator initiated experiment.
You can simply contact the nearest teaching hospital attached to a medical school or any biomedical research facility, talk to researchers there to collaborate with you on this experiment. Many would be happy to collaborate across disciplines, institutions, etc. Many journals even reward transnational studies.
You need to mention in your ethics committee application if this is a non-traditional method or if the method itself is experimental so that they can rule on various aspects of the experiment apart from the ethical part - biosafety, etc.

Hope this helps.
