Fecal egg testing is a cornerstone of veterinary diagnostics, crucial for identifying and managing parasitic infections in animals. Traditionally, this process has relied on manual microscopy, a labor-intensive and time-consuming method dependent on the expertise of a trained technician. But, thanks to advancements in technology, innovative solutions like the OvaCyte Faecal Analyser are transforming the way we diagnose intestinal parasites.
The traditional method of fecal egg counting using a microscope is subjective and takes a trained professional to properly identify the parasite and the number of parasitic eggs and Oocysts present.
The OvaCyte, developed by Indical Bioscience and Telenostic Ltd., is an automated system designed to streamline and enhance fecal egg analysis. This point-of-care device utilizes digital analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately count and identify parasite eggs in a variety of animal species.
Key Features and Benefits:
Automation: Eliminates the need for manual microscopy, reducing labor and potential for human error.
Speed: Sample preparation takes under 3 minutes, with the remaining process being completely automated.
Artificial Intelligence: Proprietary AI models analyze images against a Telenostic Reference Library, ensuring accurate species identification and quantification.
Versatility: Capable of detecting parasites in equine, bovine, ovine species, and more.
Comprehensive Detection: Identifies a range of parasites, including:
Point-of-Care Solution: Brings advanced parasite diagnostics directly to veterinary practices.
The OvaCyte system leverages a combination of advanced imaging and artificial intelligence. After a brief sample preparation step, the device automatically analyzes the sample, capturing high-resolution images of the fecal matter. The AI then uses this data to identify the specific parasite species and the number of eggs via cross-referencing against the Telenostic Reference Library.
