EXCLUSIVEBUZZWASP®ON THESIDE LABELING OF PLATESWASP ® places a label <strong>on</strong> the side ofa plate allowing a technologist to viewthe bottom of a plate for hemolysis.Side labeling of plates is a key driverof <strong>WASPLab</strong> TM workflow, making eachstep of the work setup traceable.UNIVERSAL DECAPPERUniversal decapper automatically adjusts to remove caps from ESwab,Vacutainer and urine cups. No batching necessary.LOOP AND TOOL CHANGE STATIONWASP ® now features an expanded loop & toolchange stati<strong>on</strong> allowing WASP ® to changeautomatically between loop sizes. The newstati<strong>on</strong> also holds additi<strong>on</strong>al tools for expandedWASP ® functi<strong>on</strong>s such as picking off col<strong>on</strong>iesfor McFarland suspensi<strong>on</strong>s, or seedingMALDI-TOF plates.PLATE IMAGE ANALYSISCONTINUOUS SPECIMEN FEEDINGUniversal Docking Stati<strong>on</strong>, Tarzan Grippers and Decapper allow WASP ® to randomly process any size specimenc<strong>on</strong>tainer in any sequence.Plates are scanned using photographicimage analysis and loaded into the incubator.After incubati<strong>on</strong>, plates are removedindividually and scanned for growth. Imageanalysis software compares before and aftergrowth using high resoluti<strong>on</strong> photographs aswell as topographic images and alerts labstaff to positive growth results.<strong>WASPLab</strong> software may be set to c<strong>on</strong>ductmultiple plate scans during incubati<strong>on</strong>enabling early detecti<strong>on</strong> and reporting ofpositive growth.ROBOTIC INCUBATIONAND STORAGEAfter planting and streaking, platestravel by c<strong>on</strong>veyor to the appropriateincubator, designated by the barcode.Plates are scanned using photographicimage analysis and loaded into theincubator, which holds over 2,000plates. Protocol determines plateincubati<strong>on</strong> time and number of scansand culture images are stored in thepatient specimen record file.PALLET & DISK DISPENSERROTATING WAREHOUSEWASP ® applies susceptibility or IDtesting disks in specific locati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> a4 Quad-streaked plate and performsdirect susceptibility testing usingKirby Bauer disks.MALDI-TOF TARGETPLATE SEEDINGAutomatic loop/tool change stati<strong>on</strong>allows WASP ® to collect the toolneeded to seed the MALDI-TOFtarget plate automatically andprecisely.MALDI-TRACENew software and decoding equipmentdesigned for the MALDI-TOF plate seeding witha Radio-Frequency Identificati<strong>on</strong> (RFID) deviceembedded that allows the decoding of testresults and automatic transmissi<strong>on</strong> to the LIS.Toll Free: (800) 216-4016 USA & CanadaE-Mail: info@copanusa.com • Check out our website @ www.wasplab.com
