Copan WASPLab® Brochure

An overview of WASPLab^®, the highly efficient, modular, scalable, and customizable specimen processing and culture work-up system at the heart of Copan Full Laboratory Automation.

• •Industry-leading image acquisition: 48MP RGB telecentric trilinear camera, 1,600 pixel/mm resolution, 24-bit color depth, 9mm depth of field, and over 1,000 lighting combinations to optimize image quality across media types
• •Smart incubation: dual-robot system loads plates media-side down on individual shelves, with O₂ or CO₂ atmospheres and single or double incubator configurations holding up to 1,590 plates
• •Time-zero imaging: an initial image of every plate entering incubation enables comparative growth analysis over time and supports culture interpretation when paired with PhenoMATRIX^®
• •Modular, scalable architecture: connects WASP^® upfront processing with downstream automated culture sorting and pre-screening, helping streamline review of negative plates and surface common clinical bacterial isolates for technologist confirmation
• •Centralized digital command center: the WASPLab^® interface unifies plate scheduling, incubator status, pending cultures, patient demographics, and reporting in a single workspace
• •Foundation for Full Laboratory Automation: integrates with WASP^® for front-end processing, PhenoMATRIX^® for AI-assisted plate analysis, Colibrí™ for automated colony picking and AST prep, and Radian^® for in-line disk diffusion

WASPLab^® and PhenoMATRIX^® systems provide advanced imaging and AI tools to assist microbiology professionals in culture plate analysis. All final interpretations and resulting are performed by qualified laboratory personnel according to validated laboratory protocols. Product availability and regulatory approval may vary by country or region.
