Clinical Automation
Radian®
Pushing Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing at full speed
DNA preservation
Automation is the key
Automated processes are the Lab’s turning point to reach new heights of flexibility, quality, process management and optimization, and of course prestige.
Copan will take you by hand, wipe out all uncertainties, and guide you through this breakthrough change!
Automating the AST gold-standard method
Disk diffusion is the only Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing that provides a true image of bacterial growth, enabling microbiologists to detect culture purity, heterogeneous growth or colony morphology, as well as antibiotic interactions, to adapt antimicrobial treatment more rapidly. With Radian®, you can have your cake and eat it too. Automation gets rid of the disadvantages linked to manual Disk Diffusion while maintaining at the same time its original advantages.
Knock down your AST incubation time!
A fast time to result is crucial in the treatment of critical patients. Integrating EUCAST Rapid AST Rules (R-AST) into the automated workflow, Radian® is the first fully automated solution to provide accurate therapy indications from positive hemoculture starting from a four-hours incubation.
Are you processing critical samples other than positive hemocultures?
Thanks to the Expert System’s fully customizable incubation times, you can now provide treatment indications with the incubation times that best fit your lab’s workflow.
Antibiotic Disk Dispensing
Radian® In-Line Carousel
Making use of the benefits of the WASP®, it manages the flexible disk* disposition on the plate.
Halo Interpretation
Radian® Expert System
Harnessing our Digital Microbiology approach, it brings S/I/R interpretation right in your hands.
Think integrated
Automations empowering each other
Combined with the other modules, Radian® pushes the boundaries of clinical microbiology automation, helping clinicians take rapid therapeutic decisions.
Colibrí™ prepares the AST tube**, WASP® streaks with the fitting pattern, and WASPLab® imaging system and algorithms make possible the Expert Interpretation.
For faster and meaningful results
Efficiency, scalability, cost-saving, TAT reduction, resource optimization: the transition to an automated lab is a radical step that will change your whole perspective on the future of your lab.
There is no top-grade laboratory without a plan for automatization.
Disruption-Less
Radian® In-Line Carousel receives plates dedicated to AST disk dispensing on a parallel conveyor, without compromising the throughput of WASP® and WASPLab®.
Raise your standards
Radian® categorizes antibiotic susceptibility results using EUCAST/CLSI updated rules, laboratory RAPID expert rules, and EUCAST RAPID rules to allow the possibility of performing Rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility
Testing (R-AST).
Like a whole antibiotic library
Radian® In-Line Carousel allows high disk dispensing flexibility thanks to its 50 positions ATB wheel and its 1 to 8 disk deposit protocols, assuring high quality and standardization.
Customizable and user friendly
Through the easy and intuitive graphic interface, the operator can report fast and consult the data readily, and autonomously customise Radian® Expert System.
Dive into the data
The integration of WASPLab® WebApp, Radian®, and LIS maximizes data traceability and management and helps supporting everyday routines, as well as epidemiological studies.

Streaking & Incubation
Start the automatized journey of the specimen with WASP® and WASPLab®.
Picking & AST Suspension
Use the PhenoMATRIX® TAG/Colibrí™ combination to analyze culture, tag best colonies, and prepare AST suspensions**.
Streaking
Now back to WASP® for automatic streaking with this task-specific loop and pattern.
Disk dispensing & Incubation
The In-Line Carousel is now ready to dispense ATB disks and WASPLab® for incubation and image analysis.
Expert System Interpretation
The Expert System analyzes the digital plates, interprets halo values according to standard EUCAST or with your own custom rules.
Positive blood culture
Transfer a sample from a positive blood culture into Copan BC+™.
Streaking
Load BC+™ directly into WASP® for it to be streaked with a dedicated streaking pattern.
ATB Disk application
Radian® In-Line Carousel automatically applies disks according to the chosen protocol.
Rapid Incubation
Apply EUCAST Rapid Rules for Incubation, and let WASPLab® digitalize plates at different times.
Expert System Interpretation
Radian® Expert System interprets halo values according to Rapid EUCAST or with your own custom rules.
Data reconciliation with ID result and LIS reporting
That’s it! Validate as is, or adapt the results, and send them to LIS with just one click.
