laboratoriokohtaisiin

Laboratoriokohtaisiin is a Finnish term meaning lab-specific or pertaining to a particular laboratory. It is formed from laboratori- (laboratory) and -kohtainen (pertaining to or specific), producing an adjective used to describe things that are tailored to the requirements, conditions, or standards of a given laboratory.

The term is commonly used in contexts such as equipment, procedures, documentation, and datasets that are customized for a specific lab. It appears in phrases like laboratoriokohtaiset ohjeet (lab-specific guidelines), laboratoriokohtaisiin näytteisiin (to lab-specific samples), or laboratoriokohtaisiin standardeihin (to lab-specific standards). The form laboratoriokohtaisiin represents one inflected variant of the adjective used to indicate applicability to or direction toward lab-specific contexts.

Morphology and inflection are typical of Finnish adjectives, with different forms for number and case. In practice, speakers choose the form that best fits the sentence, ensuring the meaning clearly indicates a relation to a particular laboratory.

Use and significance: laboratoriokohtaisiin is particularly common in scientific research, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology settings, and manufacturing environments where procedures, safety rules, data protocols, and equipment setups must be adapted to the local laboratory context rather than assumed to be universal.
