The drawing

What a lab workflow flowchart is.

A lab workflow flowchart shows the ordered steps that move a sample, material, or test from receipt to a documented result. Process boxes show actions, while decision points show checks such as whether identifiers match or a result meets specification.

It gives technicians, supervisors, and trainees a shared view of handoffs and exception paths. Use it to explain an SOP, make a quality-control loop visible, or identify where a process needs a clearer record.

How it works

How to make a lab workflow flowchart in three steps.

01

Describe it

One paragraph is enough to start.

“Create a flowchart for incoming material quality control: inspect the material, reject and quarantine failures, decide whether to return or scrap them, send returned material to the supplier for corrective action, and for accepted material pull a laboratory sample, test it against specification, then accept it into inventory or reject it.”

FAQ

Common questions

What is a lab workflow flowchart?

It is a diagram of a laboratory process from an input, such as a sample or material, through checks, test steps, records, and a final outcome.

What should I include in a lab workflow?

Include the starting item, each handling or testing step, the responsible handoffs, quality checks, records, and what happens when a check fails.

How do I show a rejected sample?

Add a decision point for the acceptance criterion, then connect the failing branch to the documented hold, rejection, or recollection action.

Can a flowchart help with an SOP?

Yes. A flowchart is a concise companion to an SOP because it makes sequence, decision points, and rework loops easier to scan.
