Copan Colibrí™ Brochure

A look inside Copan’s Clinical Microbiology Automation Solutions brochure, with a focus on Colibrí™, the automated specimen workup instrument that prepares MALDI-TOF identification targets and McFarland suspensions for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST).

• •First in its class: the first instrument in its class to receive 510(k) clearance for the simultaneous preparation of MALDI-TOF slides and McFarland AST suspensions
• •FDA-cleared platform compatibility: cleared for use with bioMérieux VITEK^® MS and Bruker MALDI Biotyper^® for identification, and bioMérieux VITEK^® 2 and Beckman Coulter MicroScan for AST suspension preparation
• •Precision pipetting: synchronization of the onboard nephelometer and pipettor maximizes standardization, with turbidity verification on every microbial suspension
• •Vision-guided colony picking: a vision system controls pipette alignment and retrieves colony coordinates from WASPLab^®, matching them for accurate picking
• •End-to-end traceability: integrated printer and barcode system labels every tube and purity plate, with a full audit trail from the original streaked plate to the final colony position via LIS connection
• •Two paths to colony selection: technologists can select colonies manually at the WASPLab^® reading station, or pair Colibrí™ with PhenoMATRIX^® TAG for AI-assisted colony selection (RUO in the United States)

The full brochure also covers WASP^®, WASPLab^®, PhenoMATRIX^®, Radian^®, and WASP-FLO™, plus return-on-investment considerations for Full Laboratory Automation.

PhenoMATRIX^® TAG integration with Colibrí™ is labeled Research Use Only (RUO) in the United States. Product availability and regulatory status may vary by country. See the brochure for full regulatory details and intended-use statements.
