Sample collection: needs, challenges, and future

Sample collection and preservation, without any doubt, are the most critical prerequisites for trustable test results and accurate clinical diagnosis. This symposium explores the need for correct and innovative sample collection and preservation methods to increase diagnostics laboratories’ accuracy, standardization, and improve patient treatment and diagnostics democratization.

BacteriologIA: Artificial Intelligence applied to bacteriology

The introduction of lab automation, digitalization, and Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in supporting microbiologists in managing the multiple challenges they face daily. The experiences of clinical laboratories that re-shaped their workflows thanks to the adoption of new technologies will be discussed in this symposium and will surely be inspiring.

Dr. Dan

The fantASTic adventure!

The dinner was the right occasion to introduce our new mascot, a funny representation of what we believe Copan is: your best ally in every microbiological challenge. At our ECCMID booth, we asked many of you to suggest a cool name for the character, and you all came up with great names – SwaboCop, WISEman, Cop(M)an, and many others –, but among them, we chose the one that touched us deeply, suggested in honor of our beloved Daniele Triva.
Meet Dr. Dan in his first fantASTic adventure!
