No reference should be included that is not cited in the paper. Remember that ALL information within the report that is not your original work or idea should be referenced. Statements by other authors are usually paraphrased or summarized — direct quotations are rare in scientific writing.

Sections of a Laboratory Report Title : The title should be concise and specific and tell the reader what you did Purpose : Most lab reports do not include a formal introduction and instead substitute a purpose.
Types of results may include: Measurements. Report measurements using standard metric units. Any time a number is presented, it must have units.
Abbreviations of units are used without a following period. Use the prefixes m, m, n, and p for 10 -3 , 10 -6 , 10 -9 , and 10 , respectively. Numbers should be written as numerals when they are greater than ten or when they are associated with measurements; for example, 8 mm or 20 g.
In a list of objects including both numbers over and under ten, all numbers may be expressed as numerals. Example: 17 bacteria, 2 yeast, and 1 protozoan. If a number starts a sentence spell out the number, do not use a numeral.
Example: ten mannitol salt agar plates were streaked… Calculations. The equation should be indicated. In a lab report, even if you use a calculator, you must set up the problem. Number each table and provide a title and legend that contains all the information needed to interpret the data.
The reader should be able to understand the content without the text. The title should be located at the top of the table. Columns and rows should be labeled clearly. All notes should be placed below tables. Any abbreviations, units, calculations, or statistics used should be described in headers or footnotes see Table 1 for an example. Use bold type to make these obvious. Biology Illustration. Biomedical Science. Biology Symbols. Chemical and Process Engineering. Biology solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with samples, templates and libraries containing biological vector symbols, to help you create scientific and educational designs in the field of biology.
The vector stencils library "Chemical engineering" contains 24 symbols of chemical and process engineering equipment. Modern chemical engineers are concerned with processes that convert raw-materials or cheap chemicals into more useful or valuable forms.
