It is the instrumental plural form of the base adjective laboratoryjny, used to describe nouns that are in the instrumental case and plural. In practice, laboratoryjnymi appears in technical and scientific contexts to denote something used in or pertaining to a laboratory.

In use, laboratoryjnymi describes a noun that is itself in the instrumental plural. Common examples include phrases such as narzędziami laboratoryjnymi (with laboratory tools), sprzętami laboratoryjnymi (with laboratory equipment), and warunkami laboratoryjnymi (with laboratory conditions). The form signals not just a general lab relation but a specific grammatical role within a sentence, aligning with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case.

Etymology and relation to related terms: laboratoryjnymi is built from laboratoryjny, which derives from laboratory with the adjectival suffix -jny. The root laboratory- traces back to the Polish word laboratories’ cognate, itself ultimately linked to Latin laboratorium.

Usage notes: laboratoryjnymi is primarily encountered in formal or technical Polish, especially in descriptions of procedures, equipment, or conditions that are specified in the instrumental plural. It is one of several inflected forms that allow adjectives to agree with nouns in case and number, reflecting the richly inflected nature of Polish grammar.
