They tested the vial. It came back positive for EDTA.

That said - this test is basically never used - only other time it was used by the FBI was the OJ Simpson trial - which seems odd. And the test isn't greatly proven to work as mentioned above. There's also questions on if the EDTA would still be present once the blood is out in the sun/etc.
