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.

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!

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.
