FTK™ brand Fecal Transport Kits

Evergreen FTK™ fecal tranport kits offer the three most comonly used preservatives: 10% buffered formalin, zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) PVA, and SAF (sodium acetate formalin). Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) has been discontinued for environmental reasons.

One and two vial sets.

Each of the three preservatives is available as a single vial. Zinc sulfate PVA is also available with 10% buffered formalin as a dual vial kit. The 10% buffered formalin is recommended for wet mount and concentration procedures and the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fixatives are recommended for permanent trichrome staining.

Single vial kits with sodium acetate formalin (SAF) are appropriate for wet mount and concentration procedures as well as for permanent staining using modified iron-hematoxylin stain with carbol fuchsin.

Choose 15 ml vials (each filled with 9 ml preservative) or 30 ml vials (each filled with 15 ml preservative).

TWO integrated systems.

15 ml vial kits may be used directly with Evergreen’s FPC® Fecal Parasite Concentrator and 30 ml vials may be used directly with Evergreen’s FPC® Jumbo™ Fecal Parasite Concentrator. Only Evergreen Scientific and its authorized dealers can offer not only one but two integrated systems to collect, preserve, transport, and process fecal specimens for ova and parasite studies.

Simple and easy to use.

Easy-to-follow directions in English and Spanish direct the patient in collecting and preserving the specimen. Each vial includes a convenient in-cap spork for scooping and mixing and fill-lines indicate correct volume levels and ensure a proper sample/preservative ratio. Leakproof caps help prevent accidental spillage.

FTK transport kits are sold separately from FPC kits.
