unlike formalin, Parasafe is nontoxic and non-carcinogenic

Safe
Parasafe® is nontoxic and non-carcinogenic. This rapid fixative meets OSHA requirements for safety and disposal. Parasafe® contains no formaldehyde or mercury.
Fast
The patented Parasafe® procedure cuts stool processing time to under one hour. Slide preparation dries rapidly. Improved rapid Trichrome stain procedure saves time. Eliminates the iodine-alcohol step for staining thus saving additional time. Our patented Slide Fixative assists in fixing parasites to slide for staining.
Economical
Parasafe® is half the cost of the two vial system.
Effective
Parasafe® allows for better patient compliance. Now you can have a stool fixative for wet mounts and for permanent stains in one tube. The concentrated stool specimen can be analyzed by wet mount and Trichrome stain at half the price of formalin and PVA. Results give optimum definition of ova and fine protozoal nuclear detail. No shrinkage.
Other Options: Mini-Parasafe is Parasafe® packaged in 15ml vials. Both standard and Mini-Parasafe are compatible with our Fecal Parasite Concentrators. Also available is Cary-Blair, a medium for culture of feces.

PARACLEAR® avoids all the problems of using and disposing of xylene. Paraclear® is a xylene-free clearing agent. Unlike xylene or citrus limonene, it has no overpowering odor. Use Paraclear® without any of the health concerns of xylene. This xylene replacement gives you excellent clinical results. Fast evaporating Paraclear® is ideal for use with all Trichrome procedures. It gives consistent results with excellent clarity. Paraclear® effectively deparaffinizes and eliminates residual chemicals.

Paraclear is convenient and is less expensive to use. Paraclear® is completely soluble in alcohol and has no effect on most laboratory plastics. It is also less flammable than xylene. Costly distillation becomes unnecessary.
