BRESCIA, Italy, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Copan took the chance of the first in-person ECCMID of the last two years to

give a name to its holistic approach to preanalytics. From sample collection to

image analysis and data interpretation, meet Copan's WISE approach, which

brings any sample to improved diagnostics.

Preanalytics – sample collection, processing, and other activities that make

samples analyzable by diagnostics platforms – is one of the first steps of the

intricate path to a correct diagnosis. Thus, all subsequent analyses rely on

sound preanalytics, as no cutting-edge diagnostic platform can retrieve what is

lost during poor sample collection, transportation, or processing.

Since its beginnings, Copan has worked around the clock to conceive a complete

ecosystem taking care of biological samples from their collection site to the

latest diagnostic platform. As a result, Copan is nowadays the only company

offering a whole preanalytics solution covering sample collection, transport

and processing, image analysis, and interpretation.

That's not fresh news, but last April's ECCMID – the first in-person show after

two years of online events –  has been the occasion to give this comprehensive

approach a name:

WISE – Workflow-Integrated System Environment

System Environment, since Copan's comprehensive ecosystem encompasses anything

from sample collection to data interpretation.

Workflow-Integrated, as Copan solutions seamlessly integrate into any workflow,

ensuring downstream compatibility and improving standardization.

Copan presented this new concept with a dedicated video

[http://go.pardot.com/l/902441/2022-02-16/5ls1r], highlighting sample

self-collection and lab automation as the two main focuses of this approach.

Self-collection fits perfectly into the WISE approach – as the development of

safe and reliable devices could allow sampling to be performed by anyone,

anywhere – while Copan's complete automation ecosystem can be paired with

sampling devices and diagnostic platforms to offer effortless sample handling,

high-sensitivity image analysis, and error-free data interpretation.

The WISE approach will be the pivotal point of Copan's communication in the

near future, with which the company wants to highlight its 40-years research

aimed to perfect each step of the preanalytic process, offering laboratories

unbiased diagnostics and improving patient care.
