Para-Pak Macro-CON is a system for the concentration of eggs, larvae, and protozoa from preserved fecal specimens. The filtration unit is designed to be used directly with the Para-Pak specimen collection vial. This creates a completely closed system, minimizing exposure of the user to potentially infectious agents. Macro-CON concentration utilizes the entire contents of the Para-Pak specimen collection vial, reducing variation due to specimen sampling. This is of particular advantage to the clinical parasitologist when a small number of organisms may be present in a large volume of stool.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials (e.g., filters, containers) intended to be used for the isolation and concentration of intestinal parasites [e.g., helminth eggs and larvae, protozoan trophozoites and cysts] from a faecal specimen, using one or a combination of techniques (e.g., centrifugation, filtration, organic solvent or surfactant treatment), for further in vitro diagnostic investigation. This is a single-use device.
