• FECONOMICS is a new ready-to-use kit for the concentration of fecal samples in parasitological diagnosis.
• It enables easy homogenization and concentration of fecal samples for identification of helminth eggs, proto­zoan trophozoites and cysts by microscopy.
• In this method, the centrifugation step is eliminated by using special absorbent beads. These special beads have smaller pores than trophozoites and parasite eggs. Excess fluid is absorbed by special beads and the parasites are concentrated in a smaller volume.
• It offers superior results compared to a traditional method using a centrifuge.
• It has been proven that it provides high sensitivity in studies. (See Table 1).
