LaTeX Lab Report & Lab Document Templates (2026)
A good lab report template handles the structure (objective, method, results, and analysis), so you can focus on the data. These free LaTeX templates cover physics, chemistry, biology and geology, plus lab notebooks, protocols and safety manuals.
Each opens on LetX and compiles in your browser, with clean support for equations, figures and data tables.
Find the one you need
There are 71 lab documents in the catalogue and they answer two different questions. A lab report is the thing you hand in. A protocol, a calibration log or a batch record is the paperwork a working lab runs on. Filter by which you are writing first, because otherwise the six reports sit buried under sixty-five logs.
Find the lab document you actually need
All 71 are free and open in the browser.
Filter by what you are writing and, where it matters, by discipline. Reports, protocols, logs, and the quality and safety paperwork a regulated lab runs on.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a lab report in LaTeX?
Start from a lab report template: it provides the standard sections (objective, apparatus, method, results, analysis, conclusion) and clean support for equations, figures and tables. Open one on LetX and compile in your browser.
What should a lab report include?
Typically: a title and date, objective/aim, apparatus or materials, method/procedure, results (with tables and figures), analysis including error/uncertainty, and a conclusion. The templates lay these out for you.
Is there a LaTeX lab notebook template?
Yes. Our lab notebook template gives you a dated, structured format for recording experiments day to day, which is easy to keep consistent and searchable.
Can I include equations and data tables?
Absolutely. LaTeX excels at both. The templates come with example equations and booktabs-style tables you can adapt to your data.
How do I edit these without installing LaTeX?
Open any template on LetX, click "Open as Template", and edit in the browser: it compiles to PDF in seconds, no TeX install needed.
