- A fecal parasite concentrator test is a valuable diagnostic tool in the detection and management of parasitic infections of the gastrointestinal tract.
- FPC test uses two 15 mL polypropylene tubes with an interconnected, precision molded strainer.
- The 0.6 mm holes allow the parasites to pass through the strainer, but the system retains the excess fecal debris.
- Kit contains preassembled centrifuge tube strainer units, centrifuge tube caps, dispensing spoons, 20% Triton X-100, trays, applicator sticks, biohazard bags and instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Does this kit effectively isolate various types of parasites?
Yes, the FPC system is specifically engineered for the highly efficient isolation of a wide range of diagnostic targets, including: <ul><li>Helminth eggs and larvae</li><li>Protozoan cysts</li><li>Coccidian oocysts</li><li>Microsporidian spores</li></ul>
Is the strainer mesh size optimized for clear results?
Absolutely. The kit features a precision-molded strainer with a 0.6 mm x 0.6 mm hole configuration. This specific mesh size ensures that while the target parasites are captured, excess obstructive fecal debris is effectively separated, resulting in a much cleaner sample for visual analysis.
Is this a complete, all-in-one diagnostic system?
Yes, this kit provides everything necessary to perform 100 standardized tests. Included in the box are: <ul><li>100 preassembled centrifuge tube strainer units</li><li>Centrifuge tube caps and dispensing spoons</li><li>20% Triton X-100 reagent</li><li>Laboratory trays and applicator sticks</li><li>Biohazard bags</li></ul>
Is this test kit suitable for high-volume screening?
Certainly. With 100 tests per kit and the inclusion of organized laboratory trays, this system is well-suited for high-throughput laboratory environments that require standardized, repeatable results.
Does the kit comply with standard regulatory classifications?
The FPC Fecal Parasite Concentrator is designated as CLIA Non-Regulated, making it a straightforward addition to your laboratory’s existing diagnostic testing protocols.
What material is used for the centrifuge tubes?
The centrifuge tubes are manufactured from durable, laboratory-grade polypropylene, ensuring they are chemically compatible with the included reagents and suitable for standard centrifugation processes.
Is this system designed for professional laboratory use?
Yes, the FPC kit is a professional-grade diagnostic tool tailored for clinical microbiology and parasitology laboratories. It is ideal for routine parasitology screening and standardized digestive health diagnostics.
Does this kit simplify the laboratory workflow?
It significantly streamlines the process by using a specialized two-tube configuration. Because the strainer is preassembled, it reduces manual setup time and minimizes the risk of sample contamination or handling errors.
Are the included reagents standard for this procedure?
Yes, the kit includes 20% Triton X-100 reagent, which is essential for the effective preparation and concentration of fecal samples within the system.
How is the sample quality improved during testing?
By utilizing the centrifugation process against the 0.6 mm mesh, the system forces diagnostic targets into the collection tube while retaining large obstructive debris that would otherwise obscure the view. This leaves you with a clearer, more readable sample.
