Certifying Magnets - A process
I propose that a regular, repeatable method to test and validate a magnet's integrity be set up.
A standard, of sorts, to simply help us identify good from bad. I know this idea has popped up and been kicked around a lot, But we have yet to actually develop any regular system to validate magnets, unless I have missed something. Easily possible. There are snatches here and there of x or y process to test, but can we bring it all together and make it concise? ^^'
Of course, things such as saline solution exposure and visible inspection should be in this category, but what other tests should be executed? Destructive and non-destructive?
Ideas, thoughts? :D

Basically, I just want to know why a more aggressive test is needed :)
The reason I want to push for a more strenuous tests is to validate their integrity. Of course, not to the point of Destruction, nor as mild as a saline solution.
Saline Solutions are valuable test, though. But is there better ones? Even as simple as using different salts to get better results... :0
I'm assuming we're trying to mimic the body's response to the magnet, right?
@Meanderpaul are you serious?
I say this mostly tongue in cheek as I'm still a bit woozy from Friday's surgery.
I do like the idea of a fish however ( not kidding) fish a very sensitive to changes and you'd see a negative effect VERY fast.
mhmmm fish fillet....
It's not just how the coating responds to the acidity (blood is a bit alkaline around pH 7.4 from memory) but also how the coating would respond to the body's response (inflammation, attempts in phagocytosis, all that gist). This is a dynamic process which cannot be simulated statically by a chemical (it will be like trying to find a material that can withstand going from 10,000 degrees to 0 degrees cycles by putting them in 5,000 degree heat). From memory cell cultures are used for in vitro biocompatibility testing (pre-clinical trials), but animal trials (phase I clinical trials) is always the next step before going into a human body.
