Does the lab have to be licensed (to perform testing on human specimens such as
blood, body fluids, tissues and cells) in order to perform qualitative
analytical testing on a metal object that is foreign to the human body?
There are many labs that can do qualitative analysis of metals. An Atom
A lab with X-Ray diffraction on an SEM could help. Try the university electron
microscopy labs.

A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of a laboratory that can identify the type of metal in a
foreign body ? I need a lab that is licensed to do testing in NY state. I have
already tried LabCorp, MAYO and NMS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
