Clinical Specimen Collection

Concentrate the protozoan cysts, oocysts, and helminth eggs and larvae from fecal material using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Fecal Concentrator Kit II. This kit utilizes existing sedimentation methodology along with standardized components to achieve recovery of protozoan cysts, oocysts and helminth eggs and larvae from preserved fecal specimens. The filtration assembly includes a filter cap screwed to a graduated 50 mL centrifuge tube. Pore diameters in the filters are 600 microns, allowing passage of cysts, eggs and larvae while retaining macroscopic fecal matter and debris on top.
