forerun
This was my idea, too, that the "Vorlauf" is not a sample you take but is discarded, it is drawn before you start to take samples.
My laboratory dictionary calls this "forerun", and here is an example:
"Assemble an apparatus for fractional distillation,
using the vigreaux column and a small beaker as a receiver for the forerun."

"Green needles are standard, and cannula samples are problematic (if essential use wide bore cannula and discard initial sample)."

"Traditionally, when drawing blood from arterial lines, the initial sample used to clear the line has been discarded (open method)."
