JUMBO Fecal Parasite Concentrator Kit - Simple, safe, sanitary, and efficient concentration system
- Concentrator attaches directly to the patient's clinical specimen vial
- Precision holes (0.6 mm x 0.6 mm) retain debris and allow parasite passage into concentrator
- Concentrates a larger volume of specimen
- Standardization of procedure, excellent parasite recovery, minimal odour, and reduced chances of contamination
The FPC Jumbo is designed to process and concentrate large fecal specimens. It is similar in design to the FPC. An independent study comparing four commercially available fecal concentrators concluded that the patented FPC Fecal Parasite Concentrator is very easy to use, provides clean sediment for microscopic examination, and requires the shortest processing time. Also, of the study devices tested, the FPC was the least expensive. FPC Jumbo is the cleanest, most advanced means of isolating helminth eggs and larvae, protozoan cysts, coccidian oocysts, and microsporidian spores. Excellent results are obtained using either fresh or preserved specimens. Accept no imitations. Stay with the original. The FPC Jumbo is a modification of the formalin-ether (F-E) method of Ritchie and was developed at the National Institute of Health. Rather than using the older funnel-gauze method, FPC uses two 15 ml polypropylene tubes with an interconnected, precision molded strainer. The 0.6 mm x 0.6 mm holes allow the parasites to pass through the strainer, but the system retains the excess fecal debris. This leakproof, self-contained concentration system leaves no mess and minimizes odour. Benefits of this approach also include the ability to standardize the fecal concentraiton procedure, thus eliminating varying results among different users. The procedure is easy to perform and minimizes personnel exposure to potentially infectious specimens. Overall benefits include: simplicity, safety, excellent parasite recovery, standardization of the procedure, and minimal odour without funnels, gauze and potential laboratory spills and contamination.
