Test Description
O&P with Centrifugation and Giardia

Fecal Ova and Parasite (O&P) and Giardia Ag detection by ELISA. O&P samples are appropriately mixed with zinc sulfate solution, centrifuged, followed by flotation and slide evaluation. Giardia ELISA is considered more sensitive than a single floatation test.

Note: Sample should be evaluated within 24-hours of collection. If a worm has been identified in the sample, separate the worm and place in a container labeled WORM. Additionally, mark WORM on the Test Requisition Form (TRF) being submitted with the sample.
