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.
