Parasitology
Durviz Mini-System Faecal Parasite Concentrator
Clean and efficient collection, transport and filtration of parasites are made easier using the Mini-System Faecal Parasite Concentrator from Durviz.
Closed, single-step, system
The filtration system is located inside the sample collection tube for single-step sample collection, filtration and sediment recovery. An effective cap and seal design minimises the risk of leakage.
Spoon and beads
An integral sample collection spoon and beads allows for the easy collection and homogenisation of the sample.
Double filter
Mini-System’s filter design – incorporating separate coarse and fine filters – provides effective filtration of the homogenised sample, resulting in a cleaner sediment and reduced sample loss. The need to use Ethyl Acetate or Ether is avoided, as fat from the sample is effectively removed by the action of Triton and the double filter system.
Sedimentation cone
The Mini-System device fits into a standard 15ml centrifuge bucket for the efficient collection of parasites in the sedimentation cone, allowing for easy aspiration/pipetting for later microscopic analysis.
Media
Mini-System is available pre-filled with SAF, ECOSAF, MIF, Bailenger or Veronal Buffer (all 4 ml), or as empty devices.
Durviz Graham’s Test
Graham’s Test is a simple technique for the collection of Enterobius Vermicularis eggs from the anal margins. Each individual test contains three ready-to-use slides for the correct repetition of the test over three days.
