Reply to comment by Guitar_t-bone in eli5 What do blood labs do with your blood after they have tested it? by ratboy_r97
Not an expert but I assume it's a biological hazard due to it rotting. Yes all meat rots but when you buy a desd chicken its being sold under the assumption that it will be eaten, not the same for being given back your own organ or detached limb.

outside of specific tests typically for cancer, things like an appendix are preserved in formalin. Outside of that its hospital/lab policy on whether they let you have it back if you want it. Usually extra paperwork and depends on what the specimen is as some tests destroy it as a part of the process.

It does have to be tested but you can request to advertise your body part back. It is you after all.

It's crazy how fast it goes bad. Last week I had to go to the ER and the first thing they did was take like 4 to 5 vials of blood to run a "rainbow" test. After the doctor came in he told them what tests to run and they only used 1 or 2 vials and when I left 2 hours later you could see the blood they didn't use still sitting in the little tray all coagulated and shit.

They can give it to you sealed in a tube filled with alcohol
