clinical study
A study investigating the impact of various concentration methodologies, including fixatives, sieve pore sizes, solvents, and centrifugation parameters, on the recovery of parasites from faecal specimens, specifically evaluating the performance of the Midi Parasep faecal parasite concentrator.
clinical study
A cross-sectional study comparing the diagnostic performance of the Mini Parasep SF faecal parasite concentrator against Kato-Katz and McMaster techniques for detecting intestinal parasitic infections in children in Ethiopia. The study found that Mini Parasep SF demonstrated higher sensitivity for detecting S. mansoni, A. lumbricoides, and H. nana compared to the other methods.
clinical study
A comparative clinical evaluation of the Parasep fecal parasite concentrator against the conventional open Ridley-Allen sedimentation technique. The study demonstrates that Parasep provides comparable parasite recovery efficiency while offering an enclosed, safer, and more convenient disposable system for clinical laboratories.
clinical study
A clinical evaluation comparing the efficacy of the Mini Parasep SF faecal parasite concentrator against the modified Ridley-Allen formol-ether sedimentation technique for the diagnosis of intestinal parasitism. The study concludes that the Mini Parasep SF system offers higher sensitivity and specificity while providing a safer, enclosed, single-use diagnostic method.
white paper
A technical paper describing modifications to the formol-ether concentration technique for faecal parasites, improving the recovery of Ascaris, Taenia, and Schistosoma ova, and addressing issues with deposit adhesion to microscope slides.
clinical study
A comparative study of the formalin-ether (406th MGL) sedimentation technique versus the zinc sulfate flotation technique for the detection of helminth eggs and protozoan cysts in stool specimens. The study concludes that the formalin-ether method is consistently more effective, particularly for protozoan cysts, due to reduced distortion compared to the zinc sulfate method.
clinical study
A scientific poster evaluating the performance of Mini Parasep SF and Alcorfix/SafeFix fixatives for parasitic testing, comparing them against traditional methods in terms of morphology, molecular applications, and workflow efficiency.
clinical study
A clinical and analytical evaluation comparing the Mini Parasep SF fecal concentrator system to traditional PVA/formalin methods. The study demonstrates that Mini Parasep SF provides comparable diagnostic sensitivity for ova and parasite detection while offering significant workflow efficiency, reducing processing time by over 30 minutes per batch of 30 specimens.
clinical study
A clinical evaluation assessing the compatibility of Alcorfix stool fixative with Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigen detection ELISAs using Parasep concentrator tubes. The study concludes that while Alcorfix is compatible, specific processing steps (filtering, pelleting, and resuspension) are required for accurate results.
clinical study
A comparative clinical study evaluating the performance of the Mini Parasep SF concentrator against traditional Fecal Parasite Concentrators (FPC) using various stool preservatives. The study concludes that the Mini Parasep system provides equivalent parasite detection results to traditional methods while eliminating the need for ethyl acetate and allowing for the observation of protozoan trophozoites.
white paper
A study by UKNEQAS Parasitology evaluating the impact of centrifugal speed, time, and solvent use on the recovery of parasite stages in faecal samples using the Parasep concentration method. The study concludes that standardized centrifugation parameters (3000rpm for 3 minutes) are essential for optimizing diagnostic sensitivity.
clinical study
A clinical study evaluating the efficacy of the Mini Parasep fecal concentrator for detecting microsporidia in animal fecal samples collected from recreational areas in the UK, confirming the device's suitability for safe sample collection and diagnosis.

clinical study
A clinical evaluation comparing the sensitivity of the ImmuView urinary antigen test for S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila against existing market alternatives like Binax NOW and Trinity Biotech Bartels EIA. The study concludes that ImmuView is more sensitive in detecting pneumococcal antigen and offers the unique advantage of dual-pathogen detection in a single test.
clinical study
A prospective clinical evaluation comparing the performance of four rapid stool antigen tests for the detection of Helicobacter pylori, including the H.pylori Ag Rapydtest by Apacor, using 124 stool samples.
