I doubt if any 2 LIMS are even close to the same in design. I have been involved in the design and implementation of several related LIMS, and in projects where data is shared between unrelated LIMS; It's a free-for-all out there.
Most LIMS do have a table of test codes. Some LIMS will allow you to apply a test code to any matrix, but some of them have you enter a new test code if you want to have the same test in a different matrix (material).
For a simple LIMS I might set up these tables for testing materials:
Materials
   MaterialID int
   MaterialName nvarchar(20)
   MaterialDescription nvarchar(255)
TestCodes
   TestID int
   TestName nvarchar(20) -- something small enough to easily display in a combobox
   TestDescription nvarchar(255)
Results
   ResultID int
   SampleID int -- Links to the sample you tested
   NumberResult float
   TextResult nvarchar(50)
   ...other fields relating to the test (person who ran test, date, etc.)
Samples
   SampleID int
   SampleCode nvarchar(50) -- depends on the code you or your client give to samples
   MaterialID int -- foreign key to the Materials table
   ...other fields describing the sample or its origin
Tests -- put entries in here when you decide to run a particular test on a particular sample
   SampleID int -- foreign key to the Samples table
   TestID int -- foreign key to the TestCode table

This structure is highly simplified, but would be a good starting point to a simple LIMS. A more complicated LIMS would need a lot more supporting fields and tables, including some quality assurance stuff. Also, scientific results are usually reported with correct significant figures, which means the final results can only be stored as properly formatted strings.
