FPC® Fecal Parasite Concentrator, Jumbo

Simple, safe, sanitary, and efficient! Caplugs® Evergreen FPC® Fecal Parasite Concentrators are one of the cleanest means of isolating helminth eggs and larvae, protozoan cysts, coccidian oocysts, and microsporidian spores. Our concentrators have standardized the processing of these fecal samples, minimizing personnel exposure of the system’s user and eliminating the potential for varying results. The easy-to-use system provides clean sediment for microscopic examination of either fresh or preserved specimens and requires minimal processing time to obtain excellent results. No funnel. No gauze. No mess. Minimal odor.

FPC® Jumbo Version uses one 50 mL polypropylene tube with an interconnected, precision molded strainer that fits onto a 30 mL vial. The larger system is ideal for large specimen amounts and is better suited for fresh, watery specimens. The 0.6 mm × 0.6 mm holes allow the parasites to pass through the strainer, but the system retains the excess fecal debris. FPC® is a modification of the formalin-ether (F-E) method of Ritchie and was developed at the National Institutes of Health.
