Textile Testing

I'd like to request information on testing textiles for the presence of
blood. We have a regulation federal-issue Civil War blanket in our
collection that was issued to a soldier wounded at Nashville in 1864. The
blanket appears to be blood-stained. I'm curious - does an inexpensive,
non-destructive test exist for the detection of blood?
