Patient Preparation: Specimens analyzed to determine the efficacy of treatment should be collected three to four weeks after completion of therapy. Antibiotics may affect results of exam.
Specimen Type: Stool
Acceptable: AlcorFix Tube
Collection Instructions: Transfer 2 g of stool within one hour of collection into AlcorFix (Min: 1 g) and send ambient.
Acceptable: ECOFIX preservative (T219) (Min: 5mL)
Collection Instructions:
1. Place specimen into preservative within 30 minutes of passage or collection.
2. Follow instructions on the container as follow:
a. Mix the contents of the tube with the spoon, twist the cap tightly closed, and shake vigorously until the contents are well mixed. Refer to the fill line on the Ecofix vial for stool specimens.
b. Do not fill above the line indicated on the container.
c. Duodenal aspirates, small bowel aspirates, or colonic washings should be placed in Ecofix in a ratio of 1:1.
Also acceptable: Transfer 5 g of stool within one hour of collection into both 10 perfect formalin and modified PVA (10 g total). (Min: 10 g total)

Method for identification of Ova and Parasites includes wet mount and trichrome stain. Due to the various shedding cycles of many parasites, three separate stool specimens collected over a 5–7-day period are recommended for ova and parasite examination. A single negative result does not rule out the possibility of a parasitic infection. The ova and parasite exam does not specifically detect Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, Cystoisospora, and Microsporidia.
