# Understanding Lab Analyses
This article explains how to work with lab analyses in Simvia, including reviewing results, analysing data, and applying compliance checks.
---
#### Reviewing new lab analyses
When new analysis results are available, they appear on the **Lab analyses overview page**.
At the top of the page, you can see how many new supplier reports require review. These are typically received automatically from connected laboratories.
### To review an analysis:
1. Open the report from the overview
2. Review the analysis details
3. Download the lab report if needed
4. Choose to:
- Complete the details, or
- Reject and continue
This step ensures that only accurate and relevant data is used in your system.
---
#### Insights
The **Insights** section allows you to analyse lab data and turn results into visual, actionable insights.
### Creating graphs
You can create graphs based on:
- Product
- Compliance level
- Country
- Producer
For example, you can visualise which lab results for a specific product comply with EU MRL regulations. You can also group results by country and drill down to see individual producers.
---
#### Compliance checks
You can define rules to automatically assess whether lab results meet your standards.
Examples include:
- Compliance with EU MRL limits
- Compliance with UK standards
- Custom internal thresholds
This allows you to align lab analysis evaluations with your quality and risk policies.
---
#### Sample groups
Sample groups help you filter and refine your analysis.
You can group results based on:
- Sample data
- Analysis types
- Batch numbers
- Other sample attributes
This makes it easier to focus on specific products, suppliers, or risk areas.
