Robotic Specimen Processing

Copan Diagnostics, Inc

Copan Diagnostics introduces the WASPLab system, which automatically processes microbiology specimens and uses sample bar codes to guide the specimen through the system, determining how to process it and when to image cultures. WASPLab connects WASP DT Walk-Away Specimen Processor to the smart incubators using a conveyor track. In the incubators, the plates are imaged so they can be read digitally. This moves the microbiology laboratory from a batch process to a continuous workflow, reducing turnaround times for increased targeted intervention.
