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!)
