She's not trying to prove his divinity, per se. She's just trying to figure out what's going on because things are very strange with him. First, she thinks he has a checkered past and that he created a new identity 5 years ago as Lucifer Morningstar. She wants to run a DNA match to see if he or any close relative is in the system as a match, say, a violent father or other family member? She thinks perhaps she'll find his DNA on file in conjunction with some other crime under a different name. She just knows his story doesn't add up and that he has a lot of money and powerful connections with no explanation for it. It's what a detective would do. Collect evidence, analyze it.
And no, just because he bleeds and is mortal around her, doesn't mean his divinity is gone. His other powers are still intact, he's just vulnerable to her, so that doesn't mean the makeup of his blood is going to be any different. He can still teleport, do his mind trick on people, change his form, exhibit super-strength, and levitate objects, in his hand anyway. None of that has changed.
I think it's a spell of sort that's been placed on Chloe to keep her protected around Lucifer, and possibly any supernatural being. But that doesn't change anything else about him/them. Just his susceptibility to her.

So here's a thought... Lucifer doesn't bleed except around Chloe, in effect, she makes him more human. So wouldn't his blood then be human as well? There might be some weird attributes to it but still human.
But then that's not really true either because Amenadiel bled when stabbed by Maze's knife, what was in his blood? No reason for it to be human.
Argh... I am so over thinking this.
I do like the idea that Lucifer apparently is all for her testing his blood, and that he knows she's doing it.
Okay here's another thought, we seem to assume that there is some sort of celestial being not wanting divinity proved, but what if it is Ella? You can't prove divinity, you can only have faith in it, that sort of thing? Since, I assume, she would be the one testing it as the forensic scientist, it would be her chance to show her religious side.

Ahh, you're smart. This is probably how Ella gets involved in the story. Otherwise, it's sort of random to just have a Forensic Scientist suddenly appear on the show when they haven't cared about that stuff in the past.
Yeah, angels obviously have blood because they can beat the you-know-what out of each other. When Lucifer let Amenadiel pound on him, he got blood all over his shirt. I don't see why the blood composition would change just because it's shedding is caused by a mortal rather than another supernatural being.

It would certainly be interesting to find out how Lucifer's blood analyses. I am guessing the celestials would have bodily fluids in keeping with those they are among.
In one of the bits on the upcoming season, there is a comment that Amenadiel is going to try to rein in Lucifer's recklessness. I am inclined to think it is he, who is not particularly keen on the celestial identity of Lucifer and therefore himself being revealed beyond Lucifer's unbelieved story. There are now at least 3 humans who have been told Amenadiel is Lucifer's brother.
Ella may or may not want to move from faith to scientific fact, but that first supposes Chloe has told her of the odd things about Lucifer. Chloe has quite determinedly hung onto the idea of Lucifer having 'adopted' this persona especially considering, the whole shooting in the leg thing so perfectly proved to her Lucifer's claim of not bleeding was a load of BS. She might get Ella to test the blood, but I can't see her telling her why beyond she is trying to find a previous identity. Even if Chloe is coming round to thinking Lucifer really is the Devil, I can't see her making that known to anyone, particularly not a co-worker.

All Chloe needs to say is she wants to prove that Lucifer is/is not THE Lucifer. She maybe tells her that Lucifer is delusional and really believes it himself and she's trying to help/contact family to get him help, any number of things. She doesn't have to say anything about his extra abilities.
As others mentioned, it'll be interesting to see which route the writers took with the blood analysis. My guess it shows to be human with some identifiable extra in it.

It all depends on how God created humans. In the beginning, God, his wife and their sons lived in Heaven happily for a long time. Then God got bored and had a pet project to create humans based on his image. Eventually he got addicted on the project and totally ignored his family. My guess is that God, Angels and humans should have similar blood because they came from the same origin. So Chloe can't prove anything testing Lucifer's blood.

He can not lose his divinty. Like his mother they take on human form. There are no families or records or DNA to find. What Chole is seeing was created that way five years ago. He has shown he dies he does not cest to exist. Chole is not trying to prove his divinity because she does not believe who he is. From what it looks like Lucifer will not be able to prover who he is.

No they don't "take on human form". Have you read the comic? Doesn't work that way. There is no mother in the comic, but in the show she's some kind of a god, an energy form, and that's why her form is different from Lucifer's. Just like God's form is different. He is at times a ball of light, The Presence, or any appearance He chooses. In one scene in the comic, He quickly cycles through many appearances, Michael, Lucifer, Elaine's mom, etc. He often appears as an old man in a mustache and bowler hat. That's a favorite. Charlotte for some reason needs a host. But Lucifer is Lucifer, in hell, heaven, or on earth.

Also, not having his wings weakens him somewhat, but doesn't remove all of his powers. He just chooses to almost never use them, even in the comic, with or without his wings. He relies on his ability to outsmart everyone.
