What sets this system apart is your ability to tailor it to your precise needs. You can select the features and options that provide the most significant value to your laboratory, and you have the flexibility to enhance efficiency further by adding more capabilities in the future. This adaptability and customization make it an invaluable asset for laboratories seeking optimal microbiology sample processing solutions.
WASPLab®, Integrated into a comprehensive bioMérieux solution offering:
WASP®
Colibrí™ and PhenoMATRIX®
The Colibrí™ module offers automated colony picking on MALDI-TOF ID targets and automated suspension preparation for VITEK® 2 AST. The PhenoMATRIX® solution offers artificial intelligence for rules-based sorting to let you focus on plates of clinical interest. You gain streamlined, efficient workflow through full integration with our identification and susceptibility (ID/AST) and blood culture offers, using instruments and reagents, including CHROMID®, VITEK® 2, and VITEK® MS/VITEK® MS PRIME.

PhenoMATRIX®
Embedded Interpretation Intelligence for WASPLab®
PhenoMATRIX® is an expert module that leverages artificial intelligence in order to take intuitive automation and embedded algorithms to the next level!
PhenoMATRIX® automatically brings together critical information from specimen reading results, (optimized with WASPLab® algorithms), LIS* data and patient clinical information. PhenoMATRIX® integrates available LIS data (demographics, previous patient results, leucocyte results, etc.), providing effective plate interpretation, sorting and validation of your samples.
PhenoMATRIX® enables rules-based sorting to speed up and improve plate interpretation. You will never have to touch a negative plate again, enabling you to focus on the positive plates that matter. It maximizes efficiency but also the quality and accuracy of the results provided to the physicians. It enhances the medical value for the patient.
- Customize rules based on your protocols; you set the rules of the decision tree
- Provide robust, relevant, and actionable results in a shorter time, improving patient care
NEW FEATURE: PhenoMATRIX® and CHROMID® CPSE for Urine Samples
CHROMID® CPS ELITE Media + WASPLab® + PhenoMATRIX®
- Validated early reading protocol at 12 hours for CHROMID® CPS Elite media
- Streamlined urine sample workflow with early positive plate unloading
- Faster time-to-results on urine samples TAT (8 hours faster)
- Provide faster actionable results with real added value for the right patient therapy setting
PhenoMATRIX® TAG
With the standard PhenoMATRIX®, technicians are required to select the best isolated colonies on positive plates and assign the tasks for the ID and AST phases.
PhenoMATRIX® TAG automates the selection of the well-isolated colonies and assigns directly the D1 tasks (ID, AST, ID+AST) to be processed by Colibrí™, further streamlining the workflow and improving the time to results.
- Automatic selection of well-isolated colonies
- Isolated colonies position coordinates calculation and transfer to Colibrí™
- Automatic assignment of ID and AST tasks to be processed by Colibrí™
- Information is transferred to Colibrí™
PhenoMATRIX® PLUS
PhenoMATRIX® will screen, read, and segregate your plates, and the newest offering, PhenoMATRIX® PLUS, will automatically release the plates according to your rules. This module is designed to automatically segregate positive plates into stackers or discard negative plates without technical validation. This latest suite release will drastically decrease the time spent on negative plates and speed up the time to result for patients.
Colibrí™
Automated Colony Picking and ID/AST Tasks
Introducing Colibri™, the automated colony picking module designed to seamlessly integrate into WASPLab®, elevating the level of automation in your analytical process.
Colibrí™ is a specialized module engineered to automate the crucial colony picking stage in microbiological analysis. It stands as the industry’s first and only system capable of independently preparing VITEK® MS / VITEK® MS PRIME slides for identification and VITEK® 2 AST suspensions for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).
- Automated selection of isolated colonies when used with PhenoMATRIX® TAG
- Automated slide preparation for VITEK® MS / VITEK® MS PRIME in only 55 seconds per isolate
- Automatic suspension preparation for AST in only 1 minute 45 seconds per isolate (for VITEK® 2)
- Purity Plate automatic preparation
- Full integration with VITEK® Solution to improve workflow
