BIG ANIMALS

Centrifugal flotation method with ParasiTrap® Flotation PLUS, developed especially for big animals

 

Insert sample just shortly before starting examination.

1) Insert 2x10 cm³ faecal material onto the sample vessel (use the additional 10 cm³ shovel).

2) Disperse intensively the sample with the spoon.
3) First filtration of faecal suspension through the one-way filter.
4) Fill the processing tube I up to the edge (arrow). Insert approx. 6 ml filtrate.
5) Screw the processing tube II with integrated filter system onto the processing tube I.

The assembled system is rotated 180º.

6) Mixed by shaker at max. rotary speed for approx. 10-15 sec. After this operation already half of the stool suspension will be collected in the lower cone-shaped processing tube II. If no shaker is available, the system is shaken thoroughly by hand for approx. 30 sec.

7) The sample in the upper vessel is transferred into the lower tube II by shaking in vertical direction (active fine filtration).

8) The filtered faecal suspension is centrifuged for 5 min. at 250-300g (separation of debris).

*Processing with small size centrifuge and quality control see below.

9) Tube II is filled with ParasiTrap® Flotation PLUS Medium to form a slight positive meniscus.
10) Wait 10-20 min. to concentrate parasites in the upper layer of meniscus (flotation step).

Alternative methods sampling the reverse meniscus: by cover-slip or glass slide, take a loop, glass rod or fine pipette. 

11) Microscopical examination.

SMALL ANIMALS

Centrifugal flotation method with ParasiTrap® Flotation PLUS, developed especially for small animals

 

Insert sample just shortly before starting examination.

1) Faecal samples are taken by using the plunger of processing tube I (auxiliary device spoon). Don´t overload the plunger (max. full to the brin).

Insert plunger carefully into the tube I.

2) Close tightly the tube. the closed tube I should be shaken intensively several times.
3) If necessary, the faecal suspension can be stirred with the plunger. You lift the screw cap and insert it quickly again until it touches the brim of the tube.

Don´t lift the plunger above the surface of the fluid!

4) Remove the screw cap with the plunger.

5) Screw the processing tube II with integrated filter system onto the processing tube I.

The assembled system is rotated 180º.

6) Mixed by shaker at max. rotary speed for approx. 10-15 sec. After this operation already half of the stool suspension will be collected in the lower cone-shaped processing tube II. If no shaker is available, the system is shaken thoroughly by hand for approx. 30 sec.

BIG ANIMALS

Sedimentation with ParasiTrap® AF/SAF/ECO/Bailenger system for big animals

 

1) Insert 2x10 cm³ faecal material onto the sample vessel (use the additional 10 cm³ shovel).
2) Disperse intensively the sample with the spoon.
3) First filtration of faecal suspension through the one-way filter.
4) Wait 5-10 min. and take 2,0 ml out with the additional big pipette from the bottom. Fill the content of pipette into the tube I.
5) Add 1,5 ml Combi Medium for separation and staining.
6) Screw the processing tube II with integrated filter system onto the processing tube I.

The assembled system is rotated 180º.

7) Mixed by shaker at max. rotary speed for approx. 10-15 sec. After this operation already half of the stool suspension will be collected in the lower cone-shaped processing tube II. If no shaker is available, the system is shaken thoroughly by hand for approx. 30 sec.
8) The sample in the upper vessel is transferred into the lower tube II by shaking in vertical direction (active fine filtration).
9) The filtered faecal suspension is centrifuged for 5 min. at 1000g.

*Processing with small size centrifuge and quality control see below.

10) After centrifugation four layers have been formed in the processing tube II. The tube I including the filter-piece is removed.
11) The top layer which is solid has to be detached from tube´s wall by a cotton wool stick.
12) Resuspend the parasites concentrate according to demand with 0,05-0,5 ml physiological saline solution or Medium A.
13) For diagnosis usually 1-3 drops of concentrated stool suspension dilution per slide will be sufficient. Make sure that your preparation is not too thick. You must be able to read through your preparation clearly.
14) Microscopical examination.
