StatSpin^® OvaTube^®

Centrifugal Accuracy without the Mess!

Processing fecal samples by centrifugal floatation has emerged as the new gold standard due to its improved sensitivity over traditional (gravity) floatation. Not only has centrifugation become the method of choice among veterinary parasitologists, but there are multiple published papers that indicate this methodology has a significantly higher yield of parasites than the current floatation method.1

Perfect In-Clinic Solution: fast, easy, clean...
The StatSpin OvaTube is the first centrifugation method that is easy and fast without the mess. With a simple coring tool to obtain the sample, just add the sample to the tube and mix with standard floatation fluid. Centrifuge in either a fixed angle or horizontal centrifuge, remove the tube, add a coverslip, and twist. In just a few minutes results are ready to read.

Features:

• Use with many common centrifuges

• Standardizes process

• Cost effective to run

• Cleaner processing

• Diagnose patients while in the office

• Less than 5 minute coverslip time

• Eliminate send-outs

• Accurate results with confidence

Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) states: "..failure to use best-practice techniques, such as centrifugation, when conducting fecal flotation procedures can result in failure to detect parasite stages in fecal samples”. 2



Testimonials:
"Our thoughts on the StatSpin Ovatubes are very positive. After we received 2 StatSpin tubes as samples, we tried one on a puppy fecal sample. I knew centrifugation was recommended, but we always felt it was too messy. We found the StatSpin Ovatubes are not messy and very simple to use. On our first sample we found 6 roundworm eggs. I was curious, so I ran our standard fecal float and found 0 eggs. On our next sample we found several roundworm eggs on the Statspin Ovatube sample. However, we again double checked our results with a fecal float and found only 1 roundworm egg. We are now only using the Statspin Ovatubes. We are convinced we will find several more positive fecals. We feel we are practicing much better medicine with the Statspin Ovatubes".

"The StatSpin OvaTube works great! We have been able to use the centrifuge we have at the clinic. It's not messy like the other methods. It's really fast and easy to use".
-Beth Wojnowski - Veterinary Technician, Krause Veterinary Clinic, Armada, MI.

 

"The StatSpin Ovatubes are a real improvement over what we were previously using. It's a much cleaner procedure and saves time. It's much easier, too! We would have a mutiny if we tried to take them away!".
-Cheri Rice - Veterinary Technician, Lake Harriet Veterinary Hospital, Minneapolis, MN.
