What's inside
A look inside Copan’s Clinical Microbiology Automation Solutions brochure, with a focus on Radian®, the fully integrated WASPLab® module that automates disk diffusion antibiotic susceptibility testing from plate seeding through interpretation.
- •End-to-end AST automation: automates the seeding of Mueller Hinton plates, application of antibiotic disks, robotic transfer to incubators, plate imaging, zone measurement, zone interpretation, and result output
- •Halo Recognition Algorithms: the Radian® Expert System measures zone diameters and applies interpretive rules to support sensitive, intermediate, or resistant determinations
- •High-capacity in-line carousel: the 50-position antibiotic carousel sits along the WASPLab® track on a parallel redirection line, supporting up to 8 disks per 100mm plate without compromising main-line throughput
- •Customizable expert system: a flexible interpretation platform lets laboratories adapt or fully customize their own rules, with direct communication to the rules database
- •Built-in quality control: a dedicated vision system confirms each disk has dispensed and matches the selected protocol, with a dual HEPA filtering system for safe handling of the antimicrobial carousel
- •Designed for early reading: when validated by the laboratory, Radian® has the potential for early susceptibility reading to support more timely results
The full brochure also covers WASP®, WASPLab®, PhenoMATRIX®, Colibrí™, and WASP-FLO™, plus return-on-investment considerations for Full Laboratory Automation.
Use of Radian® with direct blood culture AST is for Research Use Only in the United States. Product availability and regulatory approval may vary by country or region. Please contact your local Copan representative or distributor to confirm availability and regulatory status in your area.
