What should a laboratory report format contain?

A laboratory report must identify the patient and the specimen, state each test with its result, unit and reference range, flag values outside that range, and name the person who verified it alongside the laboratory and its address. SamLab ships multiple report designs and a designer for laboratories needing their own layout.

How the Report Designer works

    You place each patient and sample field yourself on the designer canvas. The results tables keep flowing underneath, so a long report can never overrun the layout you drew.

    Matching a form you already print.

Same report, your identity

Set it once. Every report follows.

Upload the letterhead you already print on and SamLab scans it, finds where the artwork ends, and keeps the data inside the safe zone. Same for the logo and the authorised signature — cropped, cleaned of their white background, and synced to every branch of the lab.

Smaller type, more per page — sample report

Smaller type, more per page

Font size is a lab-wide setting; the whole report re-flows rather than shrinking a table into the margin.

Report colour

Any colour you run

The accent drives the header band, the department rules and the table captions. Pick one for the lab, or let each department carry its own so a technician knows what came off the printer before reading a word.

Printed language

The report speaks to the patient

Column captions, the patient band and the footer print in the language the lab reports in. Right-to-left is a real layout, not a mirrored one — an Arabic patient name joins correctly and sits above its Latin transliteration.

Country packs also set the currency, the date order and the phone format on everything else the lab prints.

Local conventions

Will this report look right in my country?

A report crossing a border fails on small things: the sheet it is laid out for, the order of a date, a unit relabelled by software that never converted the value. These are settings in SamLab, not assumptions baked into the template.

Paper

A4, US Letter or Legal, chosen in the report designer. Your country sets the default, so a laboratory in the United States prints Letter without configuring anything.

Dates

The date format is a setting rather than a fixed pattern, so a collection date reads the way your clinicians read dates and never the other way round.

Units

Results print in the unit the analyzer reported. SamLab will not relabel a value it has not converted, so a result measured in mmol/L never prints as mg/dL.

Accreditation line

The wording on the accreditation strip is a setting, so the header carries your own scheme and certificate number instead of another country’s.

Accreditation is granted to the laboratory, never to its software. What SamLab supplies is the record the assessment reads.
