SOS EDIT:
This is getting ridiculous. I tried the Detective career and, again, the Chemical Analyzer there cannot be used. The evidence in my Inventory shows up, but they are all greyed out, like in the Doctor career.
I do NOT have any animations or scripts. I only have CAS CC (like hair and clothes). I don't see how these would impact such a core issue.
It basically renders my entire Get to Work expansion useless...

I fixed it.
I saw in a post that teens aren't allowed to use Chemical Analyzers. Then I remembered that I saw a mod that allowed teens to do more jobs.
And indeed. It turns out I had some sort of mod that allowed teens to take on GtW jobs (I don't even know how that ended up in my Mods - I don't play teens). This possibly made (bugged) Adults to be recognized as Teens by the Chemical Analyzers?
I am unsure of what it did, but as soon as I removed this mod, the Chemical Analyzers work fine. Both "Practice Analysis" and normal samples appear. Will update if something changes.

@StrudelGR
I see this problem was back some years ago and I was having the same problem now; why can't my sim analyse patient swab samples.
I should add I have that mod as well that enables teens to have adult jobs and a lot of what you said rang true with me as well.
I use MC Control Centre so I changed my teen to a young adult and what do you know, the samples are no longer greyed out. My teen can analyse the samples now.
