ABSTRACT:
A device and method for the concentration of parasite eggs and larvae consisting of separable upper and lower chambers connected by a mid-piece which incorporates a filter of stainless steel gauze. The sample is emulsified in the upper chamber and is filtered into the lower chamber. Ether is added through the upper chamber and the mid-piece and upper chamber are removed. The lower chamber is shaken and centrifuged, the mid-plug of debris is removed, and the tube is drained and swabbed clean leaving a small sediment containing the parasite eggs and larvae. The sediment is removed by extraction with Lugol's iodine or saline to dilute the sediment.
