As far as identifying the brand, I don not know of any lab that can do that. If you are unsure of the quality of the mix in the car, drain it and refill it with fresh OEM coolant and distilled water.

Thanks again. It is not cloudy and looking like hot chocolate, and I would like a radiator flush anyway - so thanks for sparing me the time and $ on analysis. I just had a bizarre situation and wanted to cover all potential conflicts. the coolant has been in a mason jar for two days and doesn't have either appearance that you describe. I feel better and appreciate your knowledge.
