CENTRIFUGAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OVA DETECTION

摘要

A centrifugal fecal analyzer device is disclosed for the separation of ova from fecal specimens for microscopic examination. More particularly, the centrifugal device includes a rotor housing, a coring assembly, a mixing chamber centrally located within the housing, and a sediment chamber radially outwardly of the mixing chamber. The coring assembly used to collect a fecal sample is introduced int the rotor assembly through a central top opening, and a detachable handle is removed. The rotor assembly is placed in a centrifuge an spun. A coverslip is placed over the rotor assembly opening, and the ova adhere to the coverslip for analysis using standard microscop methods. In another aspect of the present invention, a centrifugal device is provided in which the ova are delivered through centrifugation to a pipette tip for dispensing onto a microscope slide or coverslip.
