Laboratory Sample Accessioning Workflow

Laboratory sample accessioning is the controlled handoff between receipt and testing. This flowchart begins with package and identity checks, then routes any mismatch into a resolution loop rather than allowing the sample to continue. Once identifiers match, accessioning and laboratory-system recording create a traceable record before the sample reaches the testing area. The short sequence is useful for staff training, SOP discussion, and finding the place where samples can be delayed. It should be adapted to the laboratory's own validated procedures, specimen requirements, and quality system.

Cosa contiene questo disegno

Leggi le decisioni che ne stanno alla base.

01Identifier match

A discrepancy is resolved before accessioning.

02Accession number

The sample receives a trackable laboratory identity.

03Testing handoff

Receipt records are completed before routing.

Use as a high-level sample-receipt workflow and adapt it to the laboratory's validated procedures.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

What is accessioning?

It is the process of accepting and assigning a traceable laboratory identity to a received sample.

Why verify identifiers?

Identifier checks help prevent a sample from being tested or reported under the wrong request.

What happens to a discrepancy?

The sample is held and handled under the laboratory's documented discrepancy procedure.
