5.0 grams of feces in ANTECH™ provided fecal container.
Test Description
Fecal Ova and Parasite (O&P) and direct smear evaluation. O&P samples are appropriately mixed with zinc sulfate solution, centrifuged, followed by flotation and slide evaluation. Fecal direct smear evaluation is used to check for adult protozoal organisms.
Note: Sample should be evaluated within 24-hours of collection for O&P. For protozoal organisms, smears should be fresh and are best evaluated in‑house immediately after sample collection. If a worm has been identified in the sample, separate the worm and place it in a container labeled WORM in black. Additionally, mark WORM on the Test Requisition Form (TRF) being submitted with the sample.
