laboratorische

Laboratorische is an adjective used in German to describe things related to a laboratory. It derives from the noun Labor (laboratory) plus the suffix -torisch, forming laboratorisch. The form laboratorische is the attributive form used before feminine singular nouns in the nominative and accusative cases, as well as before all plural nouns when accompanied by a definite article. For example: die laboratorische Ausrüstung (the laboratory equipment), eine laboratorische Probe (a laboratory sample), der laboratorische Ablauf (the laboratory procedure). Without a definite article or with other gender forms, other inflections apply (das laboratorische Verfahren; ein laboratorisches Experiment).

In usage, laboratorische describes objects, methods, or conditions that originate in or are intended for a laboratory setting. It is common in scientific, medical, and industrial writing to label equipment, techniques, analyses, and environments as laboratory-related. Typical phrases include laboratorische Ausrüstung, laboratorische Analyse, laboratorische Bedingungen, and laboratorische Proben. The term helps distinguish activities or data gathered under controlled laboratory conditions from fieldwork or patient-facing contexts.

The word is primarily found in German-language contexts. In other languages, related concepts are expressed with different terms (for example, laboratory or lab-based in English). In German, laboratorisch is the adverbial or more general adjective form, while laboratorische specifies a feminine singular or all plural nouns with definite article, and follows standard German adjective inflection patterns.
