Parawash has been shown to be an effective and safe substitute wash fluid for ethyl acetate in the fecal analysis of ova and parasites when formalin is used as a preservative. Results¹ show that nontoxic Parawash gives two to three times higher recovery rate than other washes with no odor and is less flammable. NOT for use with Parasafe.
