© homeworkjoy.comA laboratory (lab) test is a procedure in which a health care provider takes a sample of your blood, urine, other bodily fluid, or body tissue to get information about your health. Some lab tests are used to help diagnose, screen, or monitor a specific disease or condition.A typical environmental data report may list the results as “ND” or not detected. It is critical to understand that this does not mean that the sample does not contain the contaminant of concern. A result of “ND” simply means that the results were less than the Method Reporting Limit for that test.
