design a laboratory process workflow from sample receipt in warehouse to laboratory processing step by step

Here is a generic, standards-aligned end‑to‑end workflow you can adapt into SOPs or an LIMS/agent flow, starting at warehouse receipt and ending at laboratory processing.

---

1. Warehouse receipt and intake

1. Receive shipment
   • Verify shipment against manifest or purchase/order list: count packages, check sender, transport conditions (temperature loggers, shipping time).¹²³
   • Inspect outer packaging for damage, leaks, broken seals, or temperature excursions; quarantine damaged containers.⁴¹
2. Initial documentation
   • Record date/time of sample receipt at warehouse and assign a temporary warehouse receipt ID or lot ID.²⁵
   • Capture associated paperwork (analysis request forms, chain-of-custody forms, manifests) and digitize into your tracking system.³⁶⁴
3. Triage and storage
   • Sort samples by required storage condition (ambient, refrigerated, frozen, hazardous) and destination laboratory section.¹⁴
   • Place samples in appropriate controlled storage (with continuous temperature monitoring) until transfer to laboratory accessioning.⁴¹
4. Handover to laboratory
   • Prepare a transfer list from warehouse to lab including warehouse ID, sample identifiers from manifest, number of containers, and storage conditions.³¹
   • Physically transfer samples to the lab reception/accessioning area under the correct environmental conditions.⁴³

---

2. Laboratory reception and accessioning

5. Sample receipt at lab
   • Log date/time of receipt in the lab and identify the receiving staff member in the LIS or accession book.⁵²⁴
   • Confirm that every sample is accompanied by a test request or analysis order (paper or electronic).⁷³⁴
6. Identification and reconciliation
   • For each container, verify that sample ID, patient/subject ID (if applicable), and test requests on the label match the request form or electronic order.⁷²³⁴
   • Investigate and document discrepancies (mismatched IDs, missing labels, incomplete forms) using a reconciliation form and defined escalation path.⁶⁷³⁴
7. Acceptance/rejection decision
   • Inspect sample integrity (volume, hemolysis, leaks, broken tubes, improper container, incorrect temperature, expired stability).¹³⁴
   • Apply documented acceptance/rejection criteria; reject or flag compromised samples and notify the requester, documenting the decision in the LIS.⁸⁹⁴
8. Accessioning and barcoding
   • Assign a unique laboratory accession number to each accepted primary sample; this becomes the primary identifier throughout the lab.²³⁴
   • Print and apply barcodes or LIS labels to primary containers and any secondary aliquot tubes, ensuring unambiguous traceability.¹⁰¹⁴
9. Sorting and prioritization
   • Categorize samples by testing department (chemistry, hematology, molecular, microbiology, pathology) and by urgency (stat vs routine).¹¹⁵⁴
   • Place samples into racks or carrier systems (manual racks, conveyors, or track systems) labeled by destination analyzer or section.¹²¹³¹⁴

---

3. Pre‑analytical processing

10. Pre‑processing checks

• Confirm test orders, required sample type, and any special handling (light protection, immediate centrifugation, biosafety level).¹⁵⁸⁴
• Verify that storage time and conditions since collection remain within defined stability windows.¹⁴

11. Centrifugation and separation (where applicable)

• Load tubes into centrifuges according to test requirements (speed, time, temperature, rotor type, balance).¹⁴¹¹⁴
• After centrifugation, separate plasma/serum from cells as required, following biosafety practices.¹¹¹⁴⁴

12. Aliquoting

• Prepare secondary tubes or plates for aliquots, each labeled with the accession ID, derivative ID, and destination test/section.¹¹⁴¹
• Aliquot required volumes for different test panels (e.g., chemistry, molecular) to minimize repeated freeze‑thaw and instrument dead volume.¹¹⁴¹

13. Sample normalization and preparation (e.g., extraction labs)

• For nucleic acid or specialized workflows, perform extractions using SOP‑defined protocols, recording reagent lots, instruments, and operator IDs.¹
• Quantify and normalize extracts (e.g., DNA concentration and volume) to specified input requirements for downstream assays.¹⁴¹

14. Batch assembly and loading

• Group prepared samples into analytical batches by test type, platform, and control strategy (including positive/negative/blank controls and calibrators).¹²¹⁴⁴
• Load samples and controls onto analyzers or into assay plates, scanning barcodes to register rack/position mapping in the LIS.¹³¹⁰¹

---

4. Analytical phase start (handover point)

15. Instrument readiness and QC

• Verify daily/shift quality control results, calibration status, and maintenance logs on each analyzer before running patient/production samples.¹³¹²¹⁴
• Document QC review and authorization to proceed with the analytical run per ISO 15189 and local policy.¹⁵⁸⁴

16. Start of analytical run

• Initiate the analytical method or assay run (e.g., immunoassay, PCR, HPLC) for each batch, ensuring that LIS tracking links each result to the correct accession ID.¹²¹⁴¹¹
• Monitor runs for flags or instrument alerts; pause and investigate if QC fails or critical errors occur, documenting any corrective actions.⁸¹³⁴

At this point, the workflow transitions from pre‑analytical into the analytical phase (actual testing), which would continue into result validation and reporting.^5812411

Optional: prompt you can reuse to go deeper

To design this as a detailed BPMN/SOP with roles and systems, you could next ask:

“Design a BPMN‑level process for this end‑to‑end laboratory workflow, including roles, systems (LIS/WMS), data artifacts, and ISO 15189 control points, suitable for implementation as an agentic multi‑agent orchestration.”

⁂

---

Design a state machine for sample lifecycle from warehouse receipt to final disposition, with states: Received, In Warehouse, Released, In Transit, Received at Lab, Pre‑analytical, Ready for Analysis, Analyzed, Reviewed, Reported, Archived, Disposed.”

“Generate a LIMS‑agnostic workflow schema (YAML/JSON) for sample receipt and processing, including roles (warehouse operator, lab receptionist, technician, reviewer), required data fields, and error‑handling branches for rejected or non‑conforming samples.” “Propose an event‑driven architecture (Kafka/Pulsar) for lab workflow orchestration, where each step (e.g., ‘sample scanned at warehouse’, ‘LIMS registration completed’) emits a domain event consumed by agents responsible for next‑step scheduling and notifications.”

Here are all three deliverables. I've generated complete, production-ready specifications.

---

1. State Machine (XState/Statecharts-compatible JSON)

The state machine defines 14 states with conditional transitions, entry actions, and two terminal states (Disposed, Rejected) plus a recoverable error state (NonConforming).

Key design decisions:

• Guarded transitions: Every branch uses a cond guard (e.g., manifestValid, qcPassed) so the orchestrator can evaluate context before transitioning¹⁶¹⁷
• Entry actions: Each state fires actions on entry (e.g., notifyWarehouseOps, createWorkOrder) for side effects
• NonConforming as catch-all: Any state can route here via failure events; investigation determines reprocess vs. dispose
• Retest loop: Archived can transition back to PreAnalytical on RETEST_REQUEST for add-on testing

---

2. LIMS-Agnostic Workflow Schema (YAML)

The YAML schema is portable across LIMS platforms and includes roles, data models, step definitions, validations, and error-handling branches.

Structure highlights:

Section	Purpose
roles	5 roles with explicit permissions and notification subscriptions
data_fields	Typed schemas for sample, transfer, work_order, nonconformance
steps	11 workflow steps with on_success/on_failure branches emitting domain events
error_handling	nonconformance_workflow with disposition options and 24h escalation timer

Validation rules use a simple DSL (not_null, equals, in) that maps cleanly to JSON Schema or policy engines like OPA.¹⁸¹⁶

---

3. Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka/Pulsar)

The architecture spec defines topics, Avro schemas, 15 domain events, 6 consumer groups (agents), and 8 producer microservices.

Topics

Topic	Partition Key	Purpose
lab.sample.events	sample_id	All state-change events (event sourcing log)
lab.workflow.commands	sample_id	Inbound commands triggering transitions
lab.notifications	recipient_id	Outbound notifications
lab.audit.log	—	Immutable compliance audit trail (1-year retention, compacted)
lab.dlq	—	Dead-letter queue for failed events

Consumer Groups (Agents)

• workflow-orchestrator: Validates transitions against state machine, persists state, handles sagas¹⁹²⁰
• notification-agent: Routes alerts per event type → channels (email, SMS, push)
• scheduler-agent: Manages retention timers, SLA escalations
• audit-agent: Writes tamper-evident audit log
• lims-sync-agent: Bi-directional sync with external LIMS²¹
• analytics-agent: Streams to data warehouse for TAT dashboards

Patterns enabled

• Event sourcing: Rebuild sample state by replaying lab.sample.events¹⁹
• Saga orchestration: Compensating events on failure (e.g., lims.registration_rollback)
• Transactional outbox: Ensures exactly-once delivery to Kafka
• Idempotency: Dedup on event_id with 5-minute window

---

Generated Files

File	Format	Content
sample_lifecycle_state_machine.json	JSON	XState-compatible state machine
sample_workflow_schema.yaml	YAML	LIMS-agnostic workflow schema
lab_event_architecture.json	JSON	Kafka/Pulsar EDA spec

Suggested Next Steps

Which direction do you want to take this?

1. TypeScript/Go implementation: Generate XState machine code or a Go state machine using github.com/looplab/fsm with the JSON as config
2. Terraform/Pulumi for Kafka topics: IaC to provision the topic topology with schema registry
3. OpenAPI spec for the command/event schemas: Generate REST/gRPC APIs for each microservice
4. OPA/Rego policies: Translate the validation rules into policy-as-code for runtime enforcement
5. Temporal/Restate workflow: Map this to a durable execution framework instead of raw Kafka

Let me know your target runtime (Kubernetes, Cloud Run, etc.) and I can tighten the specs accordingly. ^{222324252627282930}

---

1. GxP‑style SOP: States, Events, Triggers

This is written like a GLP/GMP SOP section for “Sample Lifecycle Management.”³²³⁶³¹

1.1 States (GxP wording)

• Received Definition: Sample has physically arrived at the warehouse or central receiving dock and is pending manifest verification. Entry criteria: Shipment delivered; transport container unopened. Exit criteria: Manifest verified or sample rejected.
• In Warehouse Definition: Sample is stored in warehouse staging under defined environmental conditions, awaiting release to the laboratory. Entry criteria: Manifest verification completed with no critical discrepancies. Exit criteria: Sample released for transfer or moved to Quarantined due to storage or integrity issues.
• Released Definition: Sample has been approved for transfer from warehouse to the laboratory. Entry criteria: Acceptance criteria met (integrity, temperature, documentation). Exit criteria: Sample physically dispatched and enters In Transit.
• In Transit Definition: Sample is being transported between warehouse and laboratory under controlled conditions. Entry criteria: Transfer manifest generated; transport container sealed. Exit criteria: Sample received at laboratory or moved to Quarantined for transport deviations.
• Received at Lab Definition: Sample has arrived at the laboratory reception area and is awaiting registration in LIMS. Entry criteria: Lab has scanned barcodes and confirmed manifest delivery. Exit criteria: LIMS registration successful or sample moved to Quarantined.
• Pre‑analytical Definition: Sample is undergoing pre‑analytical processing (e.g., aliquoting, centrifugation, labeling). Entry criteria: LIMS registration successful; work order/test panel assigned. Exit criteria: Pre‑analytical QC passed (Ready for Analysis) or failed (Quarantined).
• Ready for Analysis Definition: Sample is staged and queued for analytical processing on an instrument or method. Entry criteria: Pre‑analytical processing completed with acceptable QC. Exit criteria: Analytical run started and completed (Analyzed).
• Analyzed Definition: Sample has completed the analytical run; raw data and preliminary results are available. Entry criteria: Instrument run completed; data captured. Exit criteria: Technical review completed (Reviewed) or rerun requested (back to Ready for Analysis) or results quarantined for investigation.
• Reviewed Definition: Results have been technically and/or medically reviewed and validated. Entry criteria: QC rules and review checks applied; reviewer signs off. Exit criteria: Results released in a formal report (Reported) or re‑analysis requested (Analyzed).
• Reported Definition: Final results have been released to the customer/EMR or sponsor system. Entry criteria: Approved report generated and successfully transmitted. Exit criteria: Sample archived for retention.
• Archived Definition: Sample (or its aliquots) is stored under defined retention conditions for a specified period. Entry criteria: Reporting completed; archival location assigned. Exit criteria: Retention expired (Disposed) or sample retrieved for retest (Pre‑analytical).
• Disposed Definition: Sample has been destroyed in accordance with biohazard and regulatory requirements. Entry criteria: Retention period expired or quality decision mandates destruction. Exit criteria: None (terminal state).
• Rejected (terminal error state) Definition: Sample did not meet acceptance criteria at initial receipt and will not be processed. Entry criteria: Critical discrepancy at warehouse or lab receipt (e.g., wrong ID, missing documentation). Exit criteria: None; case closure, client notification, and disposition per SOP.
• Quarantined (NonConforming) Definition: Sample is temporarily withheld from further processing due to a detected non‑conformance. Entry criteria: Any failure related to identity, integrity, transport, storage, QC, or data. Exit criteria: Investigation completed resulting in reprocess (back to relevant processing state) or disposal.

1.2 Events and triggers per transition

You can treat each of these as domain events plus local triggers.³³³⁷

• sample.received – trigger: warehouse operator logs new arrival; state: None → Received
• manifest.verified_ok – trigger: manifest check passes; state: Received → In Warehouse
• manifest.verified_fail – trigger: mismatched IDs/contents; state: Received → Rejected
• warehouse.release_approved – trigger: acceptance criteria met; state: In Warehouse → Released
• warehouse.acceptance_failed – trigger: integrity/temp not acceptable; state: In Warehouse → Quarantined
• transport.started – trigger: shipment dispatched; state: Released → In Transit
• transport.lab_scan_ok – trigger: lab scan, integrity ok; state: In Transit → Received at Lab
• transport.integrity_failed – trigger: broken seal, temp deviation, damage; state: In Transit → Quarantined
• lims.registration_ok – trigger: LIMS registration success; state: Received at Lab → Pre‑analytical
• lims.registration_failed – trigger: unresolvable registration errors; state: Received at Lab → Quarantined
• preanalytical.qc_pass – trigger: pre‑analytical QC passes; state: Pre‑analytical → Ready for Analysis
• preanalytical.qc_fail – trigger: QC fails; state: Pre‑analytical → Quarantined
• analysis.completed – trigger: instrument run completed; state: Ready for Analysis → Analyzed
• review.completed_valid – trigger: reviewer validates results; state: Analyzed → Reviewed
• review.rerun_required – trigger: reviewer requires rerun; state: Analyzed → Ready for Analysis
• review.data_invalid – trigger: data integrity issue; state: Analyzed → Quarantined
• report.released – trigger: report generated and delivered; state: Reviewed → Reported
• archive.stored – trigger: sample placed into archive; state: Reported → Archived
• retention.expired – trigger: retention timer elapsed; state: Archived → Disposed
• retest.requested – trigger: authorized retest/add‑on order; state: Archived → Pre‑analytical
• nc.investigation_reprocess – trigger: NC investigation allows reprocessing; state: Quarantined → Pre‑analytical
• nc.investigation_dispose – trigger: NC requires destruction; state: Quarantined → Disposed

2. Software‑workflow DSL for State Machine (JSON/YAML)

This is a reduced, copy‑pasteable JSON that matches the above, including Rejected and Quarantined. It’s compatible in spirit with XState/statecharts.³⁸³⁹

      }
    }
  }
}

If you want YAML instead (for a config repo), this is structurally equivalent and aligns with common FSM libraries.³⁴³⁵

3. Python State Machine Implementation (classes)

This is a simple, self‑contained FSM engine using classes and a transition table. It avoids extra deps but mirrors patterns from python‑statemachine.³⁵³⁴

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Callable, Dict, Optional, Tuple

State = str
Event = str
Guard = Callable[["SampleFSM"], bool]
Action = Callable[["SampleFSM"], None]


@dataclass
class Transition:
    target: State

    action: Optional[Action] = None

    def can_handle(self, event: Event) -> bool:
        return (self.state, event) in self.transitions

    def handle(self, event: Event):
        if (self.state, event) not in self.transitions:
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid transition: state={self.state}, event={event}")

        trans = self.transitions[(self.state, event)]

        if trans.guard and not trans.guard(self):
            raise PermissionError(f"Guard blocked transition: state={self.state}, event={event}")

        prev_state = self.state
        self.state = trans.target

        if trans.action:
            trans.action()

        # Optional: audit hook
        self._audit(prev_state, event, self.state)

    # Hooks / actions

    def _on_rejected(self):
        self.context["rejected"] = True

    def _on_quarantined(self):
        self.context.setdefault("nonconformances", 0)
        self.context["nonconformances"] += 1

    def _on_disposed(self):
        self.context["disposed"] = True

    def _audit(self, prev_state: State, event: Event, new_state: State):
        # Replace with real logging / event publishing

if __name__ == "__main__":
    fsm = SampleFSM(sample_id="S123")
    fsm.handle("manifest.verified_ok")
    fsm.handle("warehouse.release_approved")
    fsm.handle("transport.started")
    fsm.handle("transport.lab_scan_ok")
    fsm.handle("lims.registration_ok")
    fsm.handle("preanalytical.qc_pass")
    fsm.handle("analysis.completed")
    fsm.handle("review.completed_valid")
    fsm.handle("report.released")
    fsm.handle("archive.stored")
    fsm.handle("retention.expired")

You can swap the internal transition table with JSON loading to keep it in sync with an external DSL, similar to how XState builds machines from JSON.⁴⁰³⁴

4. Text Diagram for Visualization

Feed this into Graphviz, Mermaid, Structurizr, etc.

---

5. Where to go next (direction options)

Given your list, here’s how I’d prioritize directions for a regulated lab platform:

1. OpenAPI spec for command/event schemas
   • Define POST /samples/{id}/events and POST /commands using the event names above.
   • This becomes the contract for agents and microservices.⁴¹⁴²
2. Temporal/Restate workflow
   • Lift the FSM into a durable orchestrator so retries, timers (retention, SLA), and sagas are handled centrally.
   • Each event becomes a signal, each long‑running wait (e.g., transport, retention) becomes a timer.⁴¹
3. OPA/Rego policies for GxP rules
   • Express acceptance criteria, QC rules, and role‑based permissions as Rego against the SampleEvent payload.
   • That gives auditable, versioned decision logic.⁴³³²
4. TypeScript XState or Go looplab/fsm
   • TS/XState: drive front‑end or workflow dashboards using the same JSON.³⁹³⁸
   • Go: embed FSM into lab services, loading config from JSON.
5. Terraform/Pulumi for Kafka
   • Codify topics, ACLs, and schema registry rules for lab.sample.events, lab.workflow.commands, DLQ, etc.⁴²⁴¹

If you tell me which one you want next (e.g., “Temporal workflow in Go” or “OpenAPI for /samples/{id}/events”), I’ll generate a focused, production‑oriented spec + starter code for that path. ^44454647

Provide full GxP SOP example for complete sample lifecycle

Generate Python coroutine code for the sample state machine Create XState JSON config for sample lifecycle FSM What error handling and exceptions for state transitions Design validation and approval workflows for Reported state

Below is a compact package you can drop into specs and code: a full GxP‑style SOP section, a coroutine‑based Python FSM, XState JSON, and explicit error/validation logic.^{484950515253545556}

---

1. GxP SOP: Sample Lifecycle (Full Example)

Title: SOP – Sample Receipt, Handling, Analysis, Reporting, Archival, and Disposal

1. Purpose To describe the standardized and controlled procedure for the receipt, handling, analysis, reporting, archival, and disposal of samples in order to ensure data integrity, traceability, and compliance with applicable GxP regulations.^49525648

2. Scope This procedure applies to all samples received, processed, analyzed, reported, archived, or disposed of in the laboratory, including clinical, stability, validation, and investigational samples.⁵⁷⁴⁹

3. Responsibilities

• Warehouse Operator: Receives shipments, verifies manifests, stores and releases samples.⁵⁰⁵⁸
• Laboratory Receptionist: Receives samples at the lab, performs identity/integrity checks, registers samples in LIMS.⁵⁹⁵⁰
• Technician/Analyst: Performs pre‑analytical preparation, executes analytical methods, documents raw data.⁵²⁴⁹⁵⁹
• Reviewer (Supervisor/QA/Clinical): Reviews and approves results and reports.⁵⁶⁵²⁵⁹
• Quality Unit: Manages deviations, non‑conformances, CAPA, and approves critical decisions (e.g., sample destruction).⁶⁰⁴⁸

4. Definitions (States)

• Received, In Warehouse, Released, In Transit, Received at Lab, Pre‑analytical, Ready for Analysis, Analyzed, Reviewed, Reported, Archived, Disposed, Rejected, Quarantined (Non‑conforming) — as defined in the previous answer; language aligns with GLP/GMP expectations (purpose, entry criteria, exit criteria).⁴⁸⁵⁹⁵⁷

5. Procedure

5.1 Sample Receipt at Warehouse

• 5.1.1 Upon arrival, the Warehouse Operator receives the shipment and verifies the shipping documentation against the manifest (sample IDs, counts, conditions).⁵⁸⁵⁰
• 5.1.2 Any visible damage, leakage, improper labeling, or temperature excursion shall be documented and immediately reported to the Quality Unit.⁵⁰⁵⁸
• 5.1.3 If acceptance criteria are met, the sample is labeled with a unique internal identifier and its state is updated to “Received.”⁵⁹⁵⁰
• 5.1.4 If critical discrepancies are identified, the sample is designated “Rejected”, segregated, and the sponsor is notified.⁵⁸⁵⁰

5.2 Storage in Warehouse

• 5.2.1 Samples with a “Received” status shall be stored under defined environmental conditions (ambient, refrigerated, frozen) according to the protocol or product specification.⁵⁰⁵⁸
• 5.2.2 Storage locations shall be recorded (room, freezer, shelf) and linked to the sample record.⁵⁹⁵⁰
• 5.2.3 If storage conditions cannot be maintained or excursions occur, the sample shall be placed in “Quarantined” state pending investigation.⁵⁶⁵⁸

5.3 Release to Laboratory and Transport

• 5.3.1 Upon receipt of a valid testing request, the Warehouse Operator performs a release assessment (identity, integrity, storage history).⁵⁰⁵⁹
• 5.3.2 If acceptable, the sample is released, and a transfer manifest is generated; the state is updated to “Released.”⁵⁹⁵⁰
• 5.3.3 Samples are packed in validated transport containers with temperature monitoring where required and dispatched to the laboratory (“In Transit” state).⁵⁸⁵⁰
• 5.3.4 Any deviation during transport (e.g., broken seal, improper temperature) triggers placement into “Quarantined” state on receipt.⁵⁶⁵⁸

5.4 Laboratory Receipt and Registration

• 5.4.1 The Laboratory Receptionist verifies the physical samples against the transfer manifest, checks labeling and container integrity.⁵⁰⁵⁹
• 5.4.2 Any discrepancy or integrity issue is documented; affected samples are placed in “Quarantined” state pending Quality Unit review.⁵⁶⁵⁹⁵⁰
• 5.4.3 If acceptance criteria are met, samples are registered in the LIMS with a unique laboratory ID, and the state is updated to “Received at Lab” then “Pre‑analytical.”⁶¹⁵⁹

5.5 Pre‑analytical Processing

• 5.5.1 Technicians perform pre‑defined pre‑analytical procedures (e.g., aliquoting, centrifugation, filtration) strictly according to approved methods.⁴⁹⁵²⁵⁰
• 5.5.2 Each step (e.g., centrifuge settings, aliquot volumes) is documented contemporaneously in controlled records.⁶⁰⁵²⁴⁹
• 5.5.3 Pre‑analytical quality checks (volume, hemolysis, container integrity) are performed and recorded; passing samples are set to “Ready for Analysis.”⁵²⁵⁰
• 5.5.4 Samples failing pre‑analytical criteria are placed in “Quarantined” state; a deviation/non‑conformance record is initiated.⁵²⁵⁶

5.6 Analytical Phase

• 5.6.1 Analysts perform analytical runs using validated methods on qualified and calibrated instruments.⁶¹⁴⁹⁵²
• 5.6.2 System suitability and QC samples are analyzed prior to or along with test samples as defined in the method.⁵²⁵⁶
• 5.6.3 Raw data (chromatograms, instrument files) are captured in compliant data systems and linked to sample IDs.⁶¹⁵²⁵⁶
• 5.6.4 Upon completion of analysis, samples are marked “Analyzed”; any instrument or QC failures are handled according to deviation procedures.⁵²⁵⁶

5.7 Review and Reporting

• 5.7.1 A qualified Reviewer assesses QC results, system suitability, and data integrity prior to reviewing sample results.⁵⁶⁵²
• 5.7.2 Results meeting acceptance criteria are marked “Reviewed” and then “Reported” after generating and approving the formal report.⁵⁹⁵²
• 5.7.3 Results failing acceptance criteria may trigger re‑analysis (sample returns to “Ready for Analysis”) or placement of the sample and data into “Quarantined” state for investigation.⁵²⁵⁶

5.8 Archival and Retention

• 5.8.1 Following reporting, samples (or aliquots) are transferred to defined archival locations; the state is set to “Archived.”⁵⁰⁵⁹
• 5.8.2 Retention periods and storage conditions are defined by regulatory, protocol, or contract requirements.⁶¹⁵⁶
• 5.8.3 Samples may be retrieved from archival storage for authorized retesting; their state transitions temporarily back to “Pre‑analytical.”⁵⁹⁵⁶

5.9 Disposal

• 5.9.1 Upon expiry of the retention period, and with Quality Unit approval where required, samples are disposed of according to safety and environmental procedures.⁵⁶⁵⁰
• 5.9.2 The state is updated to “Disposed”; destruction details (date, method, responsible person) are recorded.⁵⁰⁵⁹
• 5.9.3 Disposal records are retained as part of the sample’s permanent documentation.⁶⁰⁵⁹

5.10 Handling Rejected and Quarantined Samples

• 5.10.1 Rejected samples are physically segregated, labeled clearly, and subject to sponsor/clinical guidance for return or destruction; they are never analyzed.⁵⁸⁵⁹⁵⁰
• 5.10.2 Quarantined samples are not processed further until an investigation is completed and a documented disposition (reprocess, accept with deviation, or destroy) is approved by the Quality Unit.⁴⁸⁵²⁵⁶

    }
  }
}

You can wire guards via guards: {} and reference them from transitions (e.g., cond: "hasSufficientVolume").⁵⁵⁵¹

4. Error Handling & Exceptions for Transitions

4.1 Categories of errors

• Business rule violations: Attempted transition not allowed from current state (invalid event).
• Data/validation errors: Required data missing (no sample ID, no QC results).
• Technical errors: LIMS/network failures, instrument errors.
• Compliance violations: Unauthorized role, missing e‑signature, or missing audit trail.^48606152

4.2 Recommended handling strategies

• Invalid transition
  • Reject with HTTP 400 / domain error; do not change state.
  • Log and optionally raise a GxP deviation only if it indicates misuse, not user error.⁶¹⁵²
• Data/validation error
  • Keep state unchanged, return detailed validation result; allow user to correct.
  • If data cannot be corrected (e.g., missing label), route sample to “Quarantined” and create non‑conformance.⁵⁶⁵⁰
• Technical error
  • Use retry with backoff; state remains unchanged until success.
  • Publish to DLQ (lab.dlq) if retries exceed threshold, notify IT/QA.⁶⁴⁶⁵
• Compliance violation (auth/signature)
  • Deny transition, log as security/compliance event; escalate to QA.
  • Do not move sample; optionally soft‑lock until investigation.⁶⁰⁴⁸⁶¹

---

5. Validation & Approval Workflows for Reported State

You can treat Reported as the end of a mini‑workflow composed of sub‑states: Draft → UnderReview → Approved → Released.

5.1 Conceptual workflow

• Pre‑conditions
  • Analytical run and QC accepted (state: Analyzed).⁵²⁵⁶
  • All raw data and metadata stored and linked to sample.⁶¹⁵²
• Review steps
  • Technical review: Check method performance, QC trends, and data integrity.
  • Second review (if required): Independent check for critical results or clinical trials.⁵⁹⁵²⁵⁶
  • Electronic signatures: Applied according to 21 CFR Part 11 / EU Annex 11 (username, date/time, reason).⁶⁰⁶¹
• Approval conditions
  • All required reviewers have signed off (multi‑sign).
  • All deviations and non‑conformances are resolved or dispositioned.⁴⁸⁵⁹⁵⁶
• Release
  • When all approval conditions are met, a “REPORT_RELEASED” event transitions the sample from Reviewed to Reported.
  • Reports are version‑controlled; any subsequent change creates a new version and audit record.⁶⁰⁶¹⁵²

5.2 Example review sub‑workflow (DSL snippet)

You can embed this as a nested state of Reviewed in XState:

"Reviewed": {
  "initial": "Draft",
  "states": {
    "Draft": {
      "on": {
        "SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW": "UnderReview"
      }
    },
    "UnderReview": {
      "on": {
        "TECHNICAL_APPROVE": "PendingQA",
        "TECHNICAL_REJECT": "#sampleLifecycle.Analyzed"
      }
    },
    "PendingQA": {
      "on": {
        "QA_APPROVE": "Approved",
        "QA_REJECT": "#sampleLifecycle.Quarantined"
      }
    },
    "Approved": {
      "on": {
        "REPORT_RELEASED": "#sampleLifecycle.Reported"
      }
    }
  }
}

This structure aligns with typical GxP expectations for staged technical and QA review before final report release.^57485259

If you tell me which next artifact you want (e.g., “OpenAPI for /samples/{id}/events including Report review sub‑workflow” or “Temporal workflow definition for this FSM”), I’ll generate a focused spec plus starter code. ⁶⁶

CREATE a REACT-flow code example prompt to demonstrate the workflow from start to finish

Here’s a focused React Flow + TypeScript example that renders the full sample lifecycle FSM from start (Received) to finish (Disposed/Rejected), ready to drop into a demo app. It follows React Flow’s current API patterns.^6768697071

---

1. Prompt you can reuse

Implement a React Flow diagram in TypeScript that visualizes the laboratory sample lifecycle FSM with states: Received, In Warehouse, Released, In Transit, Received at Lab, Pre‑analytical, Ready for Analysis, Analyzed, Reviewed, Reported, Archived, Disposed, Rejected, Quarantined. Connect nodes with labeled edges for each domain event (e.g., manifest.verified_ok, preanalytical.qc_pass). Include initialNodes and initialEdges definitions, and a <SampleLifecycleFlow /> component using ReactFlow, Background, and Controls from @xyflow/react (React Flow v11+). Layout nodes in a left‑to‑right flow and use node colors to highlight terminal states (Disposed/Rejected) and error state (Quarantined).

export const SampleLifecycleFlow: React.FC = () => {

  return (

import { SampleLifecycleFlow } from './SampleLifecycleFlow';

function App() {

This follows the typical React Flow example structure and uses labeled edges to show each state transition event.^68697071

If you want, next step I can: (a) add click handlers that send events to a running XState machine and highlight the current node, or (b) generate a small DSL → React Flow adapter (nodes/edges from your FSM JSON). ^{72737475767778798081}

(b) generate a small DSL → React Flow adapter (nodes/edges from your FSM JSON). Generate the full React Flow code from that prompt

Add GxP compliance annotations to the React Flow nodes Convert the React Flow diagram to an interactive XState machine Create a Zustand store for the sample workflow state Export the React Flow workflow as Mermaid diagram syntax

Below is a single, self‑contained TypeScript/React module that:

• Defines a minimal FSM JSON DSL for the sample lifecycle
• Builds React Flow nodes/edges from that DSL (with GxP annotations on nodes)
• Wires an XState machine to keep current state and highlight the active node
• Uses Zustand for sample workflow state (current state, history)
• Exposes a helper to export the workflow as Mermaid state diagram syntax

It’s structured so you can split it into files later. React Flow/XState/Zustand usage follows common patterns.^{828384858687888990}

2. How this satisfies your list

• DSL → React Flow adapter: sampleFsmDsl + buildNodesFromDsl + buildEdgesFromDsl convert the FSM JSON into nodes/edges.^83848682
• GxP compliance annotations: GxpAnnotation in StateDef is rendered into each node label.^91929394
• Interactive XState machine: The machine is built from the DSL (buildXStateFromDsl), interpreted, and driven via sendEvent; React Flow highlights the current state.⁸⁷⁸⁸
• Zustand store: useWorkflowStore owns currentState, history, and sendEvent while subscribing to the XState service.⁹⁵⁹⁶⁸²
• Mermaid export: exportDslToMermaid generates stateDiagram-v2 syntax from the same DSL, kept in sync with the graph.⁹⁷⁹⁸

If you’d like, next step I can:

• Split this into DSL + adapters + UI modules, or
• Generate a test suite (Vitest/Jest) that validates the FSM transitions against the DSL and GxP constraints.

Split this into DSL + adapters + UI modules, and

Generate a test suite (Vitest/Jest) that validates the FSM transitions against the DSL and GxP constraints.

Below is a split version of the previous module into:

1. fsmDsl.ts – DSL + Mermaid export
2. fsmAdapters.ts – XState, React Flow nodes/edges builders
3. workflowStore.ts – Zustand store bound to the XState service
4. SampleWorkflowDiagram.tsx – UI component using React Flow
5. sampleWorkflow.test.ts – Vitest test suite for FSM transitions + GxP constraints

All examples are TypeScript‑ready.^{99100101102103104105106107108109}

5. sampleWorkflow.test.ts – Vitest tests (FSM + GxP)

The tests validate:

• Every transition target exists in the DSL
• Final states have no outgoing transitions
• Error states have appropriate GxP criticality
• XState machine respects a few sample paths
• Zustand store tracks transitions

Vitest setup follows its guide.^110111103

    expect(useWorkflowStore.getState().history).toEqual([
      'Received',
      'InWarehouse',
      'Released',
    ]);
  });
});

You can adapt these tests for Jest with minor imports changes; using @xstate/test would also let you generate coverage over all paths from the same machine definition.^11210111399

If you want, next step could be a model‑based test plan using @xstate/test to auto‑generate paths and verify transitions against UI/HTTP handlers. ^{114115116117118119}

Generate example GxP test data for sample lifecycle FSM

Add Cypress E2E tests for React Flow UI interactions Create a Storybook for FSM UI modules Implement code coverage reports for Vitest suite Extend DSL with parallel states for lab branching workflows

Below is a concise, code‑ready bundle that builds on the modules we just split:

1. Example GxP test data for the lifecycle
2. Cypress E2E tests for the React Flow UI
3. Storybook stories for the FSM UI
4. Vitest coverage configuration
5. DSL extension for parallel states (lab branches)

All snippets are compatible with current React/Vite/Vitest/Cypress patterns.^{120121122123124125126127128129130}

You can reuse these in FSM tests and also in E2E flows.^122123132121

2. Cypress E2E tests for React Flow UI

This assumes:

• Your app route / renders <SampleWorkflowDiagram />
• Buttons use onClick={() => sendEvent(t.event)} (as in previous code)
• You tag elements with data-cy attributes for easier selection.^133126128134

Update the UI component to add attributes:

// in SampleWorkflowDiagram.tsx (buttons+container)
<div data-cy="sample-workflow-root" style={{ display: 'flex', height: '100vh' }}>
  {/* ... */}
  <button
    key={t.event}
    data-cy={`event-btn-${t.event}`}
    /* ... */
  >
    {t.event}
  </button>

Cypress E2E spec:

// cypress/e2e/sampleWorkflow.cy.ts

describe('Sample Lifecycle React Flow UI', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    cy.visit('http://localhost:5173/'); // adjust to dev server
    cy.get('[data-cy="sample-workflow-root"]').should('be.visible');
  });

  it('renders initial state and nodes', () => {
    cy.contains('Current state:').should('contain.text', 'Received');
    cy.contains('Received').should('be.visible');
    cy.contains('In Warehouse').should('be.visible');
    cy.contains('Archived').should('be.visible');
  });

  it('executes happy path via buttons and highlights current node', () => {
    const clickEvent = (event) =>
      cy.get(`[data-cy="event-btn-${event}"]`).click();

    clickEvent('manifest.verified_ok');
    cy.contains('Current state:').should('contain.text', 'InWarehouse');
    cy.contains('In Warehouse').parent().should('have.css', 'box-shadow');

    clickEvent('warehouse.release_approved');
    cy.contains('Current state:').should('contain.text', 'Released');

    clickEvent('transport.started');
    clickEvent('transport.lab_scan_ok');
    clickEvent('lims.registration_ok');
    clickEvent('preanalytical.qc_pass');
    clickEvent('analysis.completed');
    clickEvent('review.completed_valid');
    clickEvent('report.released');
    clickEvent('archive.stored');
    clickEvent('retention.expired');

    cy.contains('Current state:').should('contain.text', 'Disposed');
    cy.contains('Disposed').parent().should('have.css', 'background-color');
  });

  it('routes manifest failure to Rejected node', () => {
    cy.get('[data-cy="event-btn-manifest.verified_fail"]').click();
    cy.contains('Current state:').should('contain.text', 'Rejected');
    cy.contains('Rejected').parent().should('have.css', 'background-color');
  });

  it('shows GxP annotations in node labels', () => {
    cy.contains('Received').parent().within(() => {
      cy.contains('Criticality:').should('exist');
      cy.contains('SOP-001').should('exist');
    });
  });
});

This follows Cypress React testing guidance and React Flow interaction practices.^126128134133

3. Storybook for FSM UI modules

Minimal Storybook stories for the diagram and for a single state node.¹³⁵¹³⁶

// .storybook/preview.ts (basic setup depending on your project)

// src/stories/SampleWorkflowDiagram.stories.tsx
import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';
import { SampleWorkflowDiagram } from '../SampleWorkflowDiagram';

const meta: Meta<typeof SampleWorkflowDiagram> = {
  title: 'FSM/SampleWorkflowDiagram',
  component: SampleWorkflowDiagram,
  parameters: {
    layout: 'fullscreen',
  },
};

export default meta;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof SampleWorkflowDiagram>;

export const Default: Story = {};

// src/stories/StateNodePreview.stories.tsx
import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';
import React from 'react';
import { sampleFsmDsl } from '../fsmDsl';

const StateNodePreview: React.FC<{ stateId: string }> = ({ stateId }) => {
  const state = sampleFsmDsl.states.find((s) => s.id === stateId)!;
  return (
    <div style={{ border: '1px solid #ccc', padding: 12, width: 260 }}>
      <h3>{state.label}</h3>
      <p><strong>Criticality:</strong> {state.gxp.criticality}</p>
      <p><strong>GxP:</strong> {state.gxp.gxpImpact}</p>
      <p><strong>SOP:</strong> {state.gxp.sopRef}</p>
      <p><strong>Transitions:</strong></p>
      <ul>
        {state.transitions.map((t) => (
          <li key={t.event}>
            {t.event} → {t.target}
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
};

const metaNode: Meta<typeof StateNodePreview> = {
  title: 'FSM/StateNodePreview',
  component: StateNodePreview,
  args: { stateId: 'Received' },
};

export default metaNode;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof StateNodePreview>;

export const ReceivedState: Story = {
  args: { stateId: 'Received' },
};

export const QuarantinedState: Story = {
  args: { stateId: 'Quarantined' },
};

This gives you visual documentation of each state’s GxP context.^123131132122

---

4. Vitest coverage configuration

Add coverage config and scripts per Vitest docs.^124127129130

// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'jsdom',
    coverage: {
      enabled: true,
      provider: 'v8', // or 'istanbul'
      reportsDirectory: './coverage',
      reporter: ['text', 'html', 'lcov'],
      include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
      exclude: ['src/stories/**', 'src/**/*.d.ts'],
    },
  },
});

In package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "vitest",
    "coverage": "vitest run --coverage"
  }
}

This will produce HTML and LCOV coverage, usable by CI and coverage dashboards.^127129124

---

5. Extend DSL with parallel states for lab branching workflows

To support parallel branches (e.g., multiple analytical streams running in parallel), extend the DSL minimally and map to XState’s type: 'parallel'.^125137138122

5.1 DSL extension (concept)

Add optional parallelBranches to a state definition:

// in fsmDsl.ts

export interface ParallelBranch {
  id: string;
  initial: string;
  states: {
    [subStateId: string]: {
      transitions: TransitionDef[];
      isFinal?: boolean;
    };
  };
}

export interface StateDef {
  id: StateId;
  label: string;
  isFinal?: boolean;
  isError?: boolean;
  gxp: GxpAnnotation;
  transitions: TransitionDef[];
  parallelBranches?: ParallelBranch[];
}

Example: Analyzed replaced with a parallel “LabReview” state:

{
  id: 'Analyzed',
  label: 'Analyzed',
  gxp: { /* as before */ },
  transitions: [
    // “review.completed_valid” emitted when parallel branches complete
    { event: 'review.completed_valid', target: 'Reviewed' },
    { event: 'review.rerun_required', target: 'ReadyForAnalysis' },
    { event: 'review.data_invalid', target: 'Quarantined' }
  ],
  parallelBranches: [
    {
      id: 'TechnicalReview',
      initial: 'Pending',
      states: {
        Pending: { transitions: [{ event: 'tech.approve', target: 'Approved' }] },
        Approved: { transitions: [], isFinal: true }
      }
    },
    {
      id: 'QAReview',
      initial: 'Pending',
      states: {
        Pending: { transitions: [{ event: 'qa.approve', target: 'Approved' }] },
        Approved: { transitions: [], isFinal: true }
      }
    }
  ]
}

5.2 Adapter changes (XState)

In buildXStateFromDsl, detect parallelBranches and create nested parallel states:

// inside buildXStateFromDsl, when constructing each state
dsl.states.forEach((s) => {
  const on: any = {};
  s.transitions.forEach((t) => {
    const eventType = t.event.toUpperCase().replace(/\./g, '_');
    on[eventType] = t.target;
  });

  if (s.parallelBranches && s.parallelBranches.length > 0) {
    const branches: any = {};
    s.parallelBranches.forEach((b) => {
      const branchStates: any = {};
      Object.entries(b.states).forEach(([subId, def]) => {
        const subOn: any = {};
        def.transitions.forEach((t) => {
          const eventType = t.event.toUpperCase().replace(/\./g, '_');
          subOn[eventType] = t.target;
        });
        branchStates[subId] = { on: subOn };
        if (def.isFinal) branchStates[subId].type = 'final';
      });
      branches[b.id] = {
        initial: b.initial,
        states: branchStates,
      };
    });

    states[s.id] = {
      type: 'parallel',
      states: branches,
      on,
    };
  } else {
    states[s.id] = { on };
    if (s.isFinal) states[s.id].type = 'final';
  }
});

You can then decide whether React Flow shows only top‑level states or also sub‑states (e.g., different node type for parallel branch).¹³⁷¹³⁸

If you’d like next, I can:

• Generate model‑based Cypress tests from the FSM using @xstate/test
• Or produce a GxP validation protocol template (IQ/OQ/PQ) referencing this FSM and test suite. ¹³⁹

Or produce a GxP validation protocol template (IQ/OQ/PQ) referencing this FSM and test suite.

Here is a GxP validation protocol template (IQ/OQ/PQ) tailored for your sample lifecycle FSM + test suite. It aligns with CSV / GAMP 5 practices for computerized systems (Category 4–5 configurable/custom software).^{140141142143144145146147148149}

You can drop this into a doc and refine per client QMS.

---

3. Operational Qualification (OQ)

3.1 OQ Scope

Verify the functional behavior of the FSM, store, and UI against specifications using:

• Vitest unit/integration tests (FSM transitions, GxP constraints).
• Cypress E2E tests for UI flows.^{158159161162163}

3.2 OQ Test Design

Map OQ tests to:

• FSM transition rules and allowed events.
• GxP constraints embedded in the DSL (final states, error states, criticality).
• Data integrity behaviors (state history, deterministic transitions).¹⁴⁹¹⁴³

3.3 OQ Test Items

1. FSM Structural Integrity

• Test case: Verify that every transition target is a valid state.
  • Method: Use Vitest test (already defined in sampleWorkflow.test.ts).
  • Acceptance criteria: No transition references invalid targets; final states have zero outgoing transitions.¹⁴⁷¹⁴⁵

2. GxP Annotations Consistency

• Test case: Verify error states (Rejected, Quarantined) are marked isError and critical with non‑empty SOP references.
  • Method: Vitest GxP tests on sampleFsmDsl.
  • Acceptance criteria: All error states have critical GxP classification and SOP references consistent with SOP index.^150153149

3. Happy Path FSM Behavior (Vitest)

• Test case: happy-path-routine from GxP fixtures.
  • Input: Sequence of events from sampleLifecycleGxpCases.
  • Expected: Final state Disposed.
  • Acceptance: Machine transitions exactly through expected states; no unexpected intermediate states.¹⁴⁶¹⁴⁷

4. Error Path Behavior (Quarantine & Rejection)

• Test case: manifest-mismatch-rejected, preanalytical-qc-fail-quarantine, etc.
  • Expected: Final states Rejected or Quarantined as per fixtures.
  • Acceptance: System routes non‑conforming conditions to appropriate error state.¹⁴⁰¹⁴³

5. UI Behavior – E2E (Cypress)

• Test case: Execute happy path via UI buttons and verify current state display and node highlighting.
  • Verify GxP annotations visible in nodes (criticality, SOP).
  • Acceptance: UI state matches FSM state for each event; nodes reflect active/terminal/error styling.^159164158

6. Data Integrity & Auditability (Logical)

• Test case: Zustand store history list tracks sequence of states; no missing or out‑of‑order entries.
  • Acceptance: History equals FSM path for tested scenarios; store resets cleanly between sessions.^153143149

7. Coverage Thresholds

• Run npm run coverage (Vitest) and ensure:
  • ≥ 80% statements, branches, lines for FSM, DSL, and store modules.^156157165

• OQ Report summarizing executed tests, deviations, and justification for any untested low‑risk functions (risk‑based).^148145142

---

4. Performance Qualification (PQ)

4.1 PQ Scope

Demonstrate that the system performs reliably in simulated routine use over time and under representative load/usage patterns.^141151140

4.2 PQ Test Strategy

Use scenario‑based testing with representative GxP workloads rather than per‑function scripts:

• Use GxP fixtures to simulate typical lab operations (routine, STAT, QC failures).
• Run tests in an environment and configuration representing production.¹⁴³¹⁴⁶

4.3 PQ Scenarios

1. Routine Batch Processing

• Scenario: 100 routine samples processed via FSM through web UI and API simulations using multiple happy‑path events.
• Measured:
  • No incorrect state transitions or stuck states.
  • UI remains responsive; no errors in logs.
• Acceptance: 100% of samples reach correct final states; no critical errors.¹⁴⁶¹⁴³

2. Error‑Rich Campaign

• Scenario: 50 samples with a mix of manifest failures, pre‑analytical QC failures, and data integrity issues at review.
• Use fixtures manifest-mismatch-rejected, preanalytical-qc-fail-quarantine, review-data-invalid-quarantine-dispose.
• Acceptance: All error conditions route to Rejected/Quarantined and final dispositions per SOP; appropriate audit entries recorded.^149153143

3. Parallel Use – Multiple Users

• Scenario: Simulate concurrent UI sessions (e.g., Cypress + API tests) interacting with different samples.
• Acceptance: No cross‑contamination of state between samples; store and FSM remain consistent.¹⁴³¹⁴⁶

4. Regression + Stability on Updates

• Scenario: On each new release (CI pipeline), full OQ test set runs; selected PQ scenarios re‑executed (e.g., nightly).
• Acceptance: No regressions in core FSM paths; deviations handled via change control.^145148142

4.4 PQ Documentation

• PQ Protocol referencing real‑world use cases and workloads.¹⁵¹¹⁴⁷
• PQ Report summarizing evidence of “fitness for use” in the intended lab context.¹⁴²¹⁴⁴

• Map URS items (e.g., “System shall route non‑conforming samples to quarantine”) to:
  • DSL state definitions and transitions (Quarantined, error transitions).
  • Specific Vitest test cases and Cypress specs.^148147142146

5.2 Attached Artifacts

• FSM DSL (fsmDsl.ts, Mermaid export).
• Test specifications (Vitest sampleWorkflow.test.ts, Cypress sampleWorkflow.cy.ts).
• Coverage reports (HTML/LCOV).
• CI logs showing automated execution.^157165156143

---

6. Approval and Maintenance

6.1 Approval

• IQ/OQ/PQ Protocols and Reports signed by:
  • System Owner
  • QA Representative
  • IT/CSV Authority^140141144147

6.2 Change Control & Requalification

• Any change to FSM DSL, GxP annotations, React Flow UI, or engine is subject to controlled change.
• Impact assessment determines extent of re‑OQ/PQ (risk‑based per GAMP 5).^145148142
• Periodic review: Re‑run subset of OQ/PQ tests at defined intervals or after major infra changes.^141146143

---

If you’d like, next I can:

• Turn this into a filled IQ/OQ/PQ protocol document skeleton (numbered tables, signature blocks), or
• Generate a CSV RACI matrix and RTM table template that directly references your FSM, tests, and GxP SOP sections. ¹⁶⁶¹⁶⁷

EXPLAIN DEFINE IQ, OQ, PQ in terms of this workflow

IQ, OQ, and PQ are three different levels of proving that your sample lifecycle workflow (FSM + UI + tests) is fit for GxP use. In your context you can think of them like this:

---

Installation Qualification (IQ) – “Is it installed correctly?”

In terms of your sample lifecycle workflow, IQ answers: have we deployed the FSM system exactly as specified, in a controlled way?^{168169170171172173}

Applied to your architecture:

• Environment & stack
  • Node, browser, OS, DB/message broker versions documented and matching your baseline.
  • React, React Flow, XState, Zustand, Vitest, Cypress versions pinned and recorded.
• FSM & config installation
  • The DSL file (fsmDsl.ts or equivalent JSON) with all states (Received → Disposed, Rejected, Quarantined) and GxP annotations is present, version‑controlled, and deployed as per spec.
  • Build artifacts of the UI and services are traceable to commit/tag and environment.
• Documentation & access
  • URS, functional specs, and design of the FSM are approved.
  • Access control for repositories/build pipelines is in place.

IQ does not prove the workflow logic is correct; it proves the system implementing that logic is installed and configured exactly as intended.

---

Operational Qualification (OQ) – “Does it function as designed?”

In your workflow, OQ answers: does the FSM + store + UI actually enforce the lifecycle rules and GxP constraints under controlled conditions?^{170171172174173168}

Concrete to your setup:

• FSM behavior vs. DSL
  • Every allowed event causes the correct state transition (e.g., manifest.verified_ok → Received → In Warehouse; preanalytical.qc_fail → Quarantined).
  • Disallowed transitions are rejected (no skipping from Received directly to Analyzed, etc.).
• GxP rule enforcement
  • Error states (Rejected, Quarantined) exist, are reachable only via specified failure events, and are flagged as critical in the DSL.
  • Final states (Disposed, Rejected) have no outgoing transitions.
• Automated test evidence
  • Vitest unit/integration tests for transitions and GxP annotations all pass.
  • Cypress E2E tests confirm the React Flow UI shows correct current state, highlights nodes properly, and exposes the right events.

OQ is where you show that the logic of the workflow engine and UI implementation matches your specifications under “lab‑like but controlled” conditions.

---

Performance Qualification (PQ) – “Does it work in realistic use?”

For your workflow, PQ answers: when used like a real lab would use it (volumes, error rates, users), does it consistently control samples correctly over time?^{171172174173168170}

Applied to the sample lifecycle:

• Representative scenarios
  • Run batches of samples using your GxP test cases (happy paths, QC failures, manifest errors, data integrity issues) through the actual UI/API.
  • Include parallel samples, multiple users/sessions, and realistic timing.
• Consistency & robustness
  • For each scenario, the final states match expectations (e.g., error‑rich campaigns end in Quarantined/Rejected/Disposed exactly as defined).
  • No orphaned states, stuck samples, or incorrect cross‑sample interference in the store.
• Longer‑term behavior
  • Execute the workflow repeatedly across days/releases as you would post‑go‑live (e.g., nightly regression runs).
  • Confirm the system remains stable and behaviorally consistent as configurations, data volume, and minor code changes evolve under change control.

PQ is essentially “mini‑production” with test data: you show the entire implemented workflow behaves reliably in situations that mimic routine regulated lab operations, not just in isolated unit/E2E tests.

---

One‑line summary in your terms

• IQ: The platform (code, configs, tools) for your sample lifecycle FSM is installed and documented correctly.
• OQ: The logic (FSM, DSL, store, UI) behaves exactly per the lifecycle spec and GxP rules in controlled tests.
• PQ: The end‑to‑end workflow reliably supports real‑world lab scenarios at realistic volumes and over time. ^175176177

2. OQ test scripts for the laboratory workflow system

Think of OQ as “does the logic work as designed?” under controlled conditions.^179178180181

OQ‑01: FSM structural integrity

• Objective: Verify that the FSM configuration is structurally valid.
• Pre‑req: sampleFsmDsl committed and built; tests runnable.
• Steps:

1. Run Vitest suite sampleWorkflow.test.ts.
2. Check tests: - “all transitions reference valid target states” - “final states have no outgoing transitions” - “error states are marked as critical GxP impact”

• Expected: All tests pass, no invalid targets, no outgoing transitions from Disposed/Rejected, all error states tagged critical.¹⁸⁰¹⁸¹

OQ‑02: Happy path transitions

• Objective: Confirm full lifecycle from Received to Disposed behaves as specified.
• Steps:

1. Instantiate FSM/XState service in test.
2. Send events: - MANIFEST_VERIFIED_OK - WAREHOUSE_RELEASE_APPROVED - TRANSPORT_STARTED - TRANSPORT_LAB_SCAN_OK - LIMS_REGISTRATION_OK - PREANALYTICAL_QC_PASS - ANALYSIS_COMPLETED - REVIEW_COMPLETED_VALID - REPORT_RELEASED - ARCHIVE_STORED - RETENTION_EXPIRED
3. Assert state after each event matches design; final state = Disposed.

• Expected: Sequence exactly matches lifecycle spec; no unexpected intermediate states.¹⁷⁹¹⁸⁰

OQ‑03: Error handling – Rejected

• Objective: Verify manifest failure routes to Rejected (final error).
• Steps:

1. Start in Received.
2. Send MANIFEST_VERIFIED_FAIL.
3. Assert state = Rejected and no further transitions allowed.

• Expected: FSM enforces early rejection and prevents subsequent processing.¹⁸¹

OQ‑04: Error handling – Quarantined and NC

• Objective: Verify non‑conforming conditions lead to Quarantined and can be reprocessed or disposed.
• Steps:

1. Drive sample to PreAnalytical.
2. Send PREANALYTICAL_QC_FAIL → assert Quarantined.
3. From Quarantined, send NC_INVESTIGATION_REPROCESS → assert PreAnalytical.
4. Repeat and send NC_INVESTIGATION_DISPOSE → assert Disposed.

• Expected: Quarantine and NC disposition implemented exactly as spec.¹⁹³¹⁸¹

OQ‑05: UI/FSM consistency (Cypress)

• Objective: Confirm React Flow UI reflects FSM state.
• Steps (E2E):

1. Open /. Assert Current state: Received.
2. Click event buttons for OQ‑02 sequence.
3. After each click, assert Current state: <expected> and corresponding node highlighted.

• Expected: UI state and underlying FSM state remain synchronized.^191194190

OQ‑06: Data integrity – history tracking

• Objective: Validate state history is complete and ordered.
• Steps:

1. Use Zustand store to send a known sequence of events.
2. Assert history array equals expected ordered list of states.

• Expected: No missing or misordered states; history suitable for audit trace.¹⁹⁵¹⁹³

---

3. PQ protocol example with real‑like sample data

PQ is “does it perform reliably in realistic use?” using representative sample sets.^{196197178187181}

PQ‑01: Routine batch run

• Objective: Demonstrate reliable handling of routine samples at expected throughput.
• Test data: 100 pseudo‑real samples (IDs, projects, matrices, priorities), each with events matching happy-path-routine GxP testcase.
• Steps:

1. Import list of 100 sample IDs into test environment (no PHI, synthetic data).
2. For each sample, trigger lifecycle events via UI or API.
3. Monitor logs, state history, and coverage of event types.

• Acceptance:
  • 100% reach Disposed via standard path.
  • No FSM errors, no stuck samples, no inconsistent UI states.¹⁹⁸¹⁹³

PQ‑02: Error‑rich mixed workload

• Objective: Confirm system behavior under realistic mix of errors.
• Test data: 50 samples divided into:
  • 10 manifest mismatch (Rejected)
  • 20 pre‑analytical QC fail (Quarantined, some reprocessed)
  • 20 review data invalid (Quarantined → Disposed)
• Steps:

1. For each subset, apply event sequences from corresponding GxP fixtures.
2. Execute via UI or API with multiple users/sessions.

• Acceptance:
  • All samples end in expected final states.
  • Audit/history shows appropriate error and NC routing.^199193195

PQ‑03: Stability over time (regression)

• Objective: Show consistent performance over repeated runs.
• Steps:

1. Configure CI to run full OQ set + a subset of PQ scenarios nightly.
2. Track pass/fail and performance metrics (time per sample, errors).

• Acceptance:
  • No degradation in behavior or performance over defined period.
  • Any failures handled via change control.^200201198

---

4. DQ (Design Qualification) before IQ for this lab workflow

DQ answers: is the design of the workflow system appropriate for the GxP use case? It happens before you build/qualify.^182184201181

For your sample lifecycle:

• URs and risk analysis
  • URS specifying lifecycle states, GxP critical points (receipt, quarantine, reporting), auditability, and electronic records requirements.¹⁸⁰¹⁸¹
  • Risk assessment identifying failure modes (wrong state, missing quarantine, wrong final disposition).
• Design documentation
  • FSM DSL design (state list, events, transitions, error states).
  • Architecture: event‑driven design, XState plus React Flow UI, Zustand store, CI/test stack.²⁰¹²⁰²
  • Data model for events, audit trails, and history.
• GxP design checks
  • Confirm that design contains:
    • Error states for non‑conforming samples (Quarantined, Rejected).
    • Mechanisms for audit trail and traceability.
    • Role‑based access points for review/approval logic.^185193195

You document DQ as: “Given these user and regulatory requirements, this FSM‑based architecture will consistently enforce the lifecycle with appropriate controls.” IQ then proves you installed that design correctly.

---

5. IQ/OQ/PQ – FDA vs EU‑GMP (high‑level comparison)

Both FDA and EU‑GMP expect validated computerized systems; they differ more in how they express expectations than in the core concepts.^{178183192181185180}

Aspect	FDA (21 CFR + CSA/CSV)	EU‑GMP / Annex 11 & 15
Basis	Predicate rules (e.g., 21 CFR 211, 820) + guidance like Software Validation / CSA. 203179180	Annex 11 (computerized systems) + Annex 15 (qualification/validation). 185181
IQ focus	Evidence that system is installed per spec, “prerequisites to function as expected.” 178186180	Similar; Annex 15 explicitly calls out IQ content (installation, docs, calibration, utilities). 181
OQ focus	System functions according to specifications under controlled conditions; risk‑based testing encouraged (CSA). 203179180192	Annex 15 requires functional testing against predefined ranges and controls (sections 3.10–3.12). 181
PQ focus	Process validation guidance emphasizes performance in real‑world use (Stage 3 PV / continued verification). 204178192	Annex 15 sections 3.13–3.14 require PQ to show consistent performance in routine production. 181
Documentation	FDA leans on life‑cycle plus risk‑based “assurance” (less emphasis on templates, more on justification). 203192183	EU‑GMP more prescriptive about documented protocols, traceability, and test evidence; Annex 11 explicitly mentions traceability to requirements. 181183185
Risk approach	CSA encourages focusing on high‑risk functionality and using automated testing where possible. 203179192	Annex 11/15 emphasize Quality Risk Management (ICH Q9/Q10) and risk‑based depth of validation and oversight. 181200185

For your workflow, the practical outcome is the same:

• Have a documented DQ → IQ → OQ → PQ chain.
• Use risk‑based testing with strong traceability from URS → FSM DSL → tests.
• Show that your automated Vitest/Cypress suite provides the “objective evidence” both FDA and EU‑GMP expect. ²⁰⁵

create the artifacts as a zip file for download

I can’t create a real ZIP archive for download in this environment, but I can specify an exact filesystem layout so you can generate it with one command.

Here’s a concrete structure and how to zip it:

1. Recommended directory layout

gxplab-validation/
  README.md
  risk-assessment/
    risk_assessment_matrix.json
    risk_assessment_matrix.csv
  part11/
    part11_checklist.md
  csv-master-plan/
    csv_master_plan.md
  traceability/
    requirements_traceability_matrix.csv
    requirements_traceability_matrix.md
  validation-package/
    GxP-Validation-Package.md
    quick_reference_card.md
    validation_at_a_glance.md

You already have GxP-Validation-Package.md created; put it under validation-package/ as shown.

2. Shell commands to create the ZIP

From the parent directory where gxplab-validation/ lives:

# 1) Create folder
mkdir -p gxplab-validation/{risk-assessment,part11,csv-master-plan,traceability,validation-package}

# 2) Put existing file in place (adjust source path)
mv GxP-Validation-Package.md gxplab-validation/validation-package/GxP-Validation-Package.md

# 3) Create placeholder files and paste content from our convo
touch \
  gxplab-validation/risk-assessment/risk_assessment_matrix.{json,csv} \
  gxplab-validation/part11/part11_checklist.md \
  gxplab-validation/csv-master-plan/csv_master_plan.md \
  gxplab-validation/traceability/requirements_traceability_matrix.{csv,md} \
  gxplab-validation/validation-package/{quick_reference_card.md,validation_at_a_glance.md,README.md

# 4) Zip everything
cd gxplab-validation/..
zip -r gxplab-validation.zip gxplab-validation

3. Strong prompt for regenerating contents if needed

If you want to re-generate all artifact contents from scratch in another session, use this prompt:

“Generate full file contents for a gxplab-validation folder containing:

1. risk_assessment_matrix.json and .csv with 8 risks for a sample lifecycle FSM (XState + React + Kafka);
2. part11_checklist.md mapping 21 CFR Part 11 sections to implementation and evidence;
3. csv_master_plan.md with an 8-week IQ/OQ/PQ plan per GAMP 5;
4. requirements_traceability_matrix.csv and .md mapping 15 URS to FS/OQ/PQ;
5. GxP-Validation-Package.md, quick_reference_card.md, and validation_at_a_glance.md summarizing the validation package; output each file as a separate fenced code block with its filename on the first line.”

---

how do I download the python generated files? put them in line to this session?

You can’t directly download from this interface, but you can recreate the generated artifacts locally with copy‑paste and a couple of shell commands.

1. Recreate the Python‑generated files locally

For each artifact I generated (conceptually):

• risk_assessment_matrix.json and .csv
• part11_checklist.md
• csv_master_plan.md
• requirements_traceability_matrix.csv and .md
• GxP-Validation-Package.md
• quick_reference_card.md
• validation_at_a_glance.md

do this on your machine:

mkdir -p gxplab-validation/{risk-assessment,part11,csv-master-plan,traceability,validation-package}

Then, for each file:

cat > gxplab-validation/risk-assessment/risk_assessment_matrix.json
# paste the JSON block I generated for the risk matrix here
# then press Ctrl+D (Linux/macOS) or Ctrl+Z+Enter (Windows) to save

Repeat with the appropriate paths and contents.

If you want, I can now:

• Re‑emit each file’s exact content in this session, one file per message, so you can copy/paste directly into your filesystem with the above pattern.

2. Zip everything for download/sharing

Once files are in place locally:

cd gxplab-validation/..
zip -r gxplab-validation.zip gxplab-validation

3. If you prefer a single inline payload

I can also emit a single JSON payload like:

{
  "gxplab-validation/risk-assessment/risk_assessment_matrix.json": "…file content…",
  "gxplab-validation/part11/part11_checklist.md": "…file content…"
}

Then you can write a tiny script (Python/Node) to materialize that JSON into files. If that’s better, say “emit JSON bundle for all artifacts” and I’ll format it that way.
