Quality control testing workflows

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

1. 1

   Trigger

   Sample Registration Received

   A new batch sample is logged into the LIMS system with associated metadata and testing requirements. The system extracts sample ID, batch information, and required QC test protocols.
