Labortechnischer

Labortechnischer is a German adjective that denotes a relationship to laboratory technology. It is formed from the nouns Labor (laboratory) or Labortechnik (laboratory technology) and is inflected to match gender, number, and case. Examples include ein labortechnischer Prozess, eine labortechnische Ausrüstung, ein labortechnisches Verfahren, illustrating how the ending changes with the noun it modifies.

The term is used primarily in science, industry, and education to describe elements connected with conducting experiments, analyses, or operating laboratory facilities. It covers equipment and instrumentation, analytical methods, laboratory processes, and aspects of quality and safety management. Fields often associated with labortechnischer contexts include analytical chemistry, biotechnology, medical technology, and pharmaceutical production, as well as research and teaching environments.

In practice, labortechnischer is most common in descriptive phrases rather than as a standalone job title. The corresponding profession is typically referred to as Labortechniker or other specific roles, while labortechnischer describes the nature of tasks, tools, or environments rather than the person performing them.

Etymology and usage notes: the term combines Labor/Laboratorium with Technik and uses the standard German adjectival suffix -ischer (with appropriate endings). Semantically, it signals anything pertaining to laboratory work, instrumentation, or procedures, and is widely used in catalogs, specifications, manuals, and scholarly texts to indicate a close connection to laboratory technology.
