What is WASPLab?
WASPLab is a revolutionary technology that delivers fast and accurate results. WASPLab is a state-of-the-art digital system that automates every aspect of microbiology sample processing in combination with other systems and services. For example, this equipment can quickly confirm whether the result of an aseptic urine culture is positive or negative and produce a complementary study complete with the respective bacteria and antibiogram.
How it works
The WASPLab automates all stages of incubation, visualization, and identification of bacterial and infectious agents. The most innovative modules are:
• Urine swivel holder. Unit capable of continuously loading large containers with screw caps.
• Smart incubation. Homogeneous atmospheric conditions for consistent and uninterrupted bacterial growth.
• Image acquisition. Highly sophisticated camera and multiple lighting systems that produce high-resolution images.
• Automatic analysis of microorganisms. Advanced artificial intelligence algorithms that read, interpret and classify bacterial cultures with just one click.
Capabilities and benefits
This integrated lab automation system makes sample and plate processing faster and more reliable. With WASPLab, you can:
• Improve response time. Faster exam processing time and shorter lead-time until results are available to customers.
• Increase efficiency. The work of intelligent robotic incubators saves time and mistakes.
• Better therapeutic decisions. This technology illuminates, focuses and records images in real time, with a high degree of clarity to improve therapeutic decisions.
WASPLab at Joaquim Chaves Saúde
There are only two WASPLab devices in the entire Iberian Peninsula. Joaquim Chaves Saúde’s laboratory in Lisbon has the only one in Portugal. At Joaquim Chaves Saúde, our customers have access to more accurate, precise and safe laboratory results only WASPLab technology can provide.
