Deffinitely organic matter if it is not one of the "basics" you are talking about.

Every lab differs a little. Things you want:

pH
Buffer pH (both are standard)
%BS potash, calcium, & magnesium (often standard but get it)
Micros like Fe, Mn, Zn, & Cu (not required but nice)
Percent Organic Matter (usually an extra. Worth it!)
