Sorry, but I don't think I'm going to be much help.
An artist and papermaker etc I know in London is married to someone who runs a 
small company which manufactures the testing equipment for this - and I think 
it is sold world-wide. 
He ran some tests for me and a few others, but doesn't offer this as a normal 
service. 
Possibly museums or university departments with an interest in conservation 
would have this equipment - I'm sure there are people on this list who would 
have more idea than me about it.
