Coolant testing/analysis

Is there somewhere you can send coolant to have it analyzed , like oil testing?
I have contamination of some kind in the degas bottle and would like an authorities test done to define what it is.
I called Caterpiller and they said their testing would not give me an answer.
I have tried several oil testing places and they don't do coolant analysis.
I have caught this condition early,and want to solve it before it gets out of hand.
Thank you!
It is a 2007 6.0 diesel E450 cutaway box truck

Call Polaris and/or MRT Labs (both in Houston).

Polaris analyzes coolant, but the test for oil is subjective (visual). Not sure about MRT Labs.
