Fecal egg testing is a cornerstone of veterinary diagnostics, crucial for identifying and quantifying parasitic infections in animals. Traditionally, this process relied on manual microscopy performed by experienced technicians – a time-consuming and potentially subjective method. But now, innovative technology is changing the landscape of parasite detection. The OvaCyte Faecal Analyser from INDICAL BIOSCIENCE offers a cutting-edge solution, automating the process with digital analysis and artificial intelligence (AI).
Parasitic infections pose a significant threat to animal health across various species. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and prevention strategies. Manual fecal egg counts, while widely used, come with several limitations:
The OvaCyte Faecal Analyser addresses these challenges by offering a rapid, objective, and automated solution for parasite detection.
The OvaCyte system utilizes a point-of-care approach, bringing automated parasite diagnostics directly to the veterinary practice. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
This automated process not only saves valuable time but also ensures consistent and reliable results.
The OvaCyte system offers several advantages over traditional manual methods:
