Biosepar
ParasiTrap®
System for
transport and processing of stool samples for parasitological examination.
The Biosepar transport and
processing system for parasitological diagnostics has been developed by the
research department of parasitology of the Max-von-Pettenkofer-Institute for
Hygiene and Medical Microbiology, University of Munich. This concept can be
applied in research and routine diagnostics and meets the highest standards. It
also meets the recommendations of the Federal Board of Health in Europe and in
the United States (CDC), of leading scientist in the field of parasitology, of laboratory
physicians, microbiologist and epidemiologist for infectious
diseases.
The following
can be diagnosed: worm ovae, larvae and protozoa (cyst and vegetative forms) in
the stool. But also parasites which reside in other body fluids (i.e. duodenal
fluid or urine) can be preserved and then processed for diagnostics without any
risk of bacterial proliferation or decomposition.
The morphology of the
parasites which is essential for diagnosis will not be affected at all.
Therefore, the Biosepar concept is also well suitable for quality
control. It is
used for human as well as for veterinary medicine.
We attached special
importance to efficiency and its suitability for standardization. These
represent the prerequisites for a diagnostic working method which is effective
and covers the costs. The system is designed to be compatible with all
current laboratory equipment and aids.
If not all of them are available, all
the necessary examinations can still be performed after a time lag by the system
itself. This fact is of special importance for the application in human and
veterinary medical projects and epidemiological research in the Third World.
Although
the Biosepar concept is based on the "MIFC" sedimentation method, it can also be
used for the "flotation method".
