lab work
Scientific bench experiments
Lab work is analysis or experimentation performed in a laboratory.
In medicine, it typically means diagnostic tests on blood, urine, or tissue samples: The doctor ordered lab work to check her cholesterol.
In education, it refers to hands-on scientific exercises: The chemistry course includes three hours of lab work per week.
