Copan WASP® Brochure

A look inside Copan’s Clinical Microbiology Automation Solutions brochure, with a focus on WASP^®, the Walk-Away Specimen Processor and the front end of Full Laboratory Automation (FLA).

• •Standardized planting and streaking: image-analysis check confirms inoculum on the loop, automatic loop selection (1µL, 10µL, or 30µL), and loop sterilization between quadrants for consistent colony isolation
• •Built on proven scientific technique: follows the Manual of Clinical Microbiology and CLSI recommendation to use 1µL for routine urine specimens
• •Modular, open platform: 378-plate media carousel accommodates any manufacturer’s plated media, with optional modules for Gram slide preparation, broth inoculation, and AST disk dispensing
• •End-to-end traceability: 360° smart barcode reading reconciles every plate, slide, and inoculation tube to the patient specimen barcode through LIS integration
• •Operational cost design: reusable metal loops reduce consumable spend and waste disposal, and a fully electric system removes the need for a compressor
• •Forward compatible by design: extends into WASPLab^®, PhenoMATRIX^®, Colibrí™, and Radian^® as your laboratory’s automation needs evolve

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