Simple, Fast and Accurate Worm Egg Counts

Veterinary Parasept Faecal Filters are now available exclusively from Woodley Equipment.

These revolutionary filters have been developed in conjunction with an independent leading veterinary institution and offer an improved method of determining  work egg counts (WEC) on Cattle, Sheep and Horses.  Flotation methods for WEC can require serveral Specific Gravity solutions to cover different parasites.  The two common methods are 'Modified McMaster' and 'Improved Modified McMaster'.  Both use Saturated NaCL and are both catered for with the Veterinary Parasep.

Key advantages are:

  • Cleaner, safer method - the enclosed filtration environment keeps user contact with harmful vapours and aerosols to a bare minimum.
  • No possibility of cross contamination - being single use and disposable prevents any possibility of sample carryover
  • More accurate and consistent results - egg counts can be affected using traditional techniques, by unintentional inconsistent sample mixing.
  • No laborious 'clean up' of sinks, shaker bottles and sieves - all filtration, mixing and shaking is performed inside the Veterinary Parasep tube. 

            

Independent veterinary practice trial users said: 
“We have found the technique easy to use and pretty quick to perform – the instructions provided are clear and easy to follow making it simple even for those who have not prepared a sample for faecal egg counting before, or for a while.” 

“We find that using our own practice lab for these samples allows us to return results back to clients faster than if we had to post a sample to the lab, and also to offer a lower price to the client overall. Samples can be processed by either a vet or a nurse (whoever is free at the time), with results reported on a standard practice form.”
