PARACHECK ^®

Optimized system for the concentration of parasitic elements in stool samples.
Helminths: eggs and larvae.
Protozoa.

- RELIABLE:

- Quality system certified ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.
- 2 methods per kit: MIF and BAILENGER are concentration techniques. They are efficient with most parasitological elements.
>>>MIF concentration is specially suitable for eggs of ascaris and schistosoma.
>>>BAILENGER is particularly efficient on Giardia Intestinalis and Entamoeba coli cysts. It also works well on helmintha eggs.
- Optimal concentration of parasitic elements in stool sample.

- PRACTICAL:

- Easy patient's identification.
- Simple procedure.

- HYGIENIC:

- The whole system is shut and watertight.
- To do away with the intermediate stages of the decanting and to avoid
using other containers.

- SIMPLE:

- Small packaging: 50 tests (25 MIF + 25 BAILENGER).
- 18 months shelf life.

The advantages of the PARACHECK MIF & BAILENGER^®

- There is no such thing as an ideal technique to concentrate all the kinds of parasites elements.

- Many techniques are used to concentrate parasites in a small volume to have a better chance to detect them if they are not numerous.

- The 2 methods used in the PARACHECK^® kit make the concentration of parasites possible when they are not numerous enough to be detected directly.

- method BAILENGER: With this method, stools are diluted in an aquous phase and mixed with a lipidic solvant (ether). After centrifugation, we recover a lipid free pellet. With this method, acetic acid is used to adjust the solution to pH 7,5. This pH is well known to be the most adequate for parasite concentration.
- method MIF (Merthiolate - Iode – Formol): This method is adequate to look for schistosoma and ascaris eggs as well as kysts of amoeba and flagella. It can also concentrate some amoebian trophozoïts such as Dientamoeba fragilis that are then easy to identify.
