Laboratoriokäyttöisiä

Laboratoriokäyttöisiä is a Finnish compound adjective used to describe items intended for laboratory use. It applies to equipment, reagents, consumables and other materials that are designed for controlled environments, precise measurement and safe handling, rather than for consumer products or everyday field use. The phrase signals that the item is suitable for laboratory contexts and may require specialized handling, storage and safety considerations.

In product labeling and procurement texts, you will often encounter phrases such as laboratoriokäyttöisiä laitteita or laboratoriokäyttöön tarkoitetut kemikaalit. The form laboratoriokäyttöisiä is the partitive plural inflection of the adjective laboratoriokäyttöinen, used when the noun it modifies is in partitive or when listing multiple items.

Linguistically, the word is a neutral, technical term common in Finnish science, industry and education. It derives from laboratorio, the Finnish form of “laboratory,” combined with the noun käyttö (“use”) and the adjectival suffix -inen. It is often used in catalogs and safety data sheets to distinguish laboratory-grade materials from products intended for clinical, consumer or field use.
