laboratory testing
Controlled experiment work
Laboratory testing is the analysis of samples—blood, tissue, water, soil, materials—in a controlled setting to determine their properties or detect specific substances.
Medical laboratory testing checks for disease markers, drug levels, or organ function: The doctor ordered laboratory testing to check her thyroid.
Industrial and environmental testing verifies safety, quality, or compliance with standards.
