The future of parasites is they have no future

It's true. Faecal antigen testing is the future of parasite screening as we know it, catching up to 2x more infections. And now, after a retrospective study of nearly 900,000 cases that compared faecal antigen testing to flotation, we’ve got the data to prove it.1

Centrifugal faecal flotation detects 8.2% of infection. Faecal Dx antigen testing detects up to 15.5% of infections.

Find what flotation is missing.

  • Test for hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, flea tapeworm, and Cystoisospora. Simultaneously.
  • Find infections with high specificity and up to 2x more detection power than faecal flotation, all from a single specimen­.1
  • Detect earlier and more accurately than faecal flotation.2–4

And now, you can upgrade to Faecal Dx antigen testing at no additional cost for up to 8 weeks.‡

†Cumulative antigen positivity for 6 antigens/any O&P positive = 1.9x more. Cumulative antigen positivity for 6 antigens/O&P positives for those same parasites = 2.3x more

‡Terms and conditions apply. Not available to all customers, and enrollment with IDEXX required for participation. Customers currently ordering faecal flotation testing from IDEXX Reference Laboratories will be charged no more than their current pricing during the trial period.
