You can't. The lab entity doesn't support fluids.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

But isn't there a way to 'trick' it into taking fluids in order for it to run?

You can use scripts to
hide a pipe under the lab, remove water from the pipe and set lab's field `active` so it would do its thing. Or add another science pack to the technology in question and insert that one when water is in pipe.
I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

I think I'm going to try this when I get home but if this doesn't work then how do you "edit" the current technologies to add science packs? Thanks
