The Para-Pak/Para-Pak ULTRA SAF is a convenient system for the routine collection, transportation, preservation, and examination of stool specimens for intestinal parasites.

• Designed for easy use by individuals not trained in microbiological techniques
• Excellent means of minimizing the adverse effects of delay in specimen transportation

SAF provides a multipurpose fixative-preservative suitable for a variety of parasitological procedures. A direct examination may be made by diluting a drop of SAF preserved suspension in either saline or iodine. SAF preserved specimens also allow permanently stained mounts and a concentration procedure for direct examination.The incorporation of an unpreserved specimen permits amoeba culture, rearing of hookworm larvae, bacterial culture, occult blood, and stool fat examination.
