lab analysis

Diagnostic sample workup

Lab analysis is the examination of samples—blood, urine, soil, chemicals—in a laboratory setting to determine their composition or properties.

The term appears frequently in medical and scientific contexts: The lab analysis confirmed the presence of bacteria.

Often shortened to simply "labs" in medical settings: We're waiting on the labs to come back.
