Well, it will often not be the case that the lab is 'unknown' … for example, if 
I am manually entering a lab result generated elsewhere, often I will very well 
know which lab it came from, because I will be entering it from a paper report.

More correct, if we can make the following change, would be instead to

        unassigned lab

I can presently (already) create
- 'an' org (which happens to be my praxis) and
- 'an' org_unit (one location where I work)

and I can also designate the latter as a 'Laboratory' although there is a 
downside to doing so at the org_unit level (see next email).

or, if the winds are with me,

        unassigned lab
