Blade Runner question

Now, Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies. I've seen it dozens of times. But there are always questions.

A key item in the plot is that the police have to put replicants through the complex and subjective Voight-Kampf test in order to tell them from humans. OK.

However, at one point Deckard finds a snake scale. When tested, it reveals its maker's serial number.

So, you'd think the Tyrell Corporation would, like, have its own serial numbers and such, and that you could tell if someone was a replicant by, I don't know, looking at some skin cells. No need for this Voight-Kampf nonsense.

Yeah. Just wondering.

I have the book and mean to read it. However, I have not read, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep!

@Lisa82 I've never read the book, either. My understanding is that the movie has only a tangential relationship to the novel, and I've never been much of a PKD fan, so there's never been much incentive for me to read it.
