Para-Pro™ fc50 is a unique, patent pending device for the separation of fecal debris from the appropriate preserved specimen (10% buffered formalin; SAF sodium acetate acetic acid formaldehyde; and Proto-fix™ CLR) for the concentration of eggs, larvae, protozoa and juvenile nematodes associated with intestinal infections.

ParaCon II / Fecal Concentrator II is a filtration device that is intended for use in the separation of intestinal parasites from: fecal debris in preserved fecal specimens. Fecal specimens that have been preserved in preservatives such as formalin, sodium acetate-acetic acid-formalin, merthiolate-formalin, or modified polyvinyl alcohol, and which are contained in 30 ml transport vials, may be mated to the ParaCon II / Fecal Concentrator II filtration device and inverted in order to separate fecal debris from the specimen. The filtered specimen may then be concentrated by centrifugation, and observed microscopically.

Para-Pak SPINCON is for the concentration of eggs, larvae, and protozoa from preserved fecal specimens. Specimens preserved in 10% Formalin, Sodium Acetate Formalin (SAF), and ECOFIX may be used with the system.

Para-Pak SPINCON involves passing a surfactant treated, preserved stool specimen through a preliminary screen by gravity flow. The surfactant helps to break down fecal aggregates, thus freeing parasites. The specimen is then forced by centrifugation through a series of two screens with successively smaller mesh. The series of screens, not present in other devices, trap stool debris, yet allow even the larger parasites to pass through. This second filtration step eliminates the need for organic solvent extraction of the stool specimen. The resulting pellet may be examined for the presence of parasites by standard wet mount procedures.
