Paradevices for Parasitology
Paradevices in parasitology is a fascinating field of study that combines cutting-edge tools and techniques to advance our understanding of parasites and their impact on human and animal health. In this guide, Reingenuity delves into the world of paradevices and explores their importance in parasitology research.
Parasites are a diverse group of organisms that can cause a wide range of diseases in humans and animals. Studying these parasites requires specialized tools and techniques, which is where paradevices come into play. These devices enable researchers to isolate, identify, and study parasites in various samples, such as blood, feces, or tissue.
By using the Reingeniuity Paradevice, researchers can gain valuable insights into the life cycle, behavior, and transmission of parasites. This knowledge is crucial for developing effective diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and preventive measures against parasitic infections.
The Reingenuity Paradevice is an Intestinal Parasite Concentration, developed for Single Use In Vitro Diagnostic Device. Performance benefits include higher sensitivity: rare protozoan specimen, increased scanty ova sample recovery, easier morphological examination, optimal O&P workflow, increased laboratory throughput, simple patient identification.
Health and safety benefits include enclosed filtration process, reduced 5ml reagent volume size, elimination of sample cross-contamination in a single-use IVD device with reagent ready available.
Steps in using the Reingenuity Paradevice
STEP 1 – SAMPLE PREPARATION (Preserved Samples)
Introduce 3ml Gold Standard sample size into the device. For 30ml specimens (liquid stools) with less sample to increase sensitivity, use up to 5ml sample size. Fresh Samples Introduce a 0.5g Gold Standard sample size scoop of faecal sample to the fixative using the spoon on the end. For liquid stools, use x3 minimum scoop size versus formed stool sample.
STEP 2 – SAMPLE EMULSIFICATION
Seal the Paradevice by screwing in the filter/sedimentation cone unit and vortex or shake to emulsify. For fresh samples, seal the mixing tube and vortex or shake to emulsify.
STEP 3 – CENTRIFUGATION
For Preserved Stool, invert the Paradevice and centrifuge at Gold Standard 400g for two minutes. (J. Clin. Microbiol. doi:10.1128/JCM.00838-15). For Fresh Stool, add Paradevice filter and centrifuge at Gold Standard 400g for two minutes. (J. Clin. Microbiol. doi:10.1128/JCM.00838-15).
STEP 4 – EXAMINATION
For Direct Method, unscrew and discard the filter and mixing tube. Decant supernatant above the sediment. Conduct lab SOP for sedimentation analysis.
