Have you tried placing the sample in a strong magnet to see if there is any attraction?

Questions:
1. There are plenty of colleagues who could assay tissue iron, but is this appropriate?
2. Given that shrapnel could be of various materials, demonstrating that a given sample isn't iron surely doesn't rule out the presence of iron in other shrapnel within the
patient.
Any thoughts?
