I imagine that its extremely hard to get the mass quantities of blood you need for actual testing.

If you’re using human blood, yes. Plenty of pig and cow blood out there, though.

They use it to test washing machines!

And I’m not sure about the cow stuff, but pig blood is almost completely identical to human blood down to the molecular level, so shouldn’t present many if any aberrations when compared to real life intended use!

Steel girders, pizza and bath mats are all identical to human blood at the sub atomic level. Best to compare at the molecular level

Good point! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna fix my comment and then resume my steel girder and bath mats breakfast! Dennys have gotten WEIRD with their grand slam combos lately!

Mammal blood is all pretty much the same for something like this. Terrestrial mammals anyway, I don’t want to guess at the limits of adaptation for things like whales.
