Apacor
The Future of Parasitological Identification

Revolutionizing healthcare diagnostics in laboratories is imperative to enhance the quality of patient care. This is especially true for parasitology testing, which currently faces challenges due to the time-consuming and lowefficiency nature of existing commercial concentrators. To optimize operations and improve diagnostic outcomes, laboratories and diagnostic centers require innovative solutions to streamline and enhance the accuracy of parasite detection.

At the forefront of this transformative effort is Apacor, a trailblazer in developing and delivering practical, cost-effective solutions in medical diagnostics. It is leading the way by producing innovative tools for laboratories worldwide, advancing the parasite identification space with cutting-edge fecal parasite concentrators and transport vials. It also designs tailored concentrator kits intended for individuals, distributors, and laboratories.

Apacor’s commitment to innovative solutions and a customer-centric approach has resulted in unprecedented progress, setting new standards for efficiency and precision in parasitology testing.

The core of this transformation centers on its revolutionary Faecal Parasite Concentrators, the Mini Parasep SF 15ml and the Midi Parasep SF 50ml. These concentrators have gained global recognition as the industry benchmark for their effectiveness and sensitivity in concentrating Helminth ova and larvae, protozoa cysts, and oocysts.

“Our faecal concentrators offer unparalleled sensitivity for parasite identification and deliver the quickest test turnaround times,” says Alan Bromley, Global Sales & Marketing Manager at Apacor.

Unlike the often slow and cumbersome traditional methods, Apacor’s Parasep products offer an integrated solution that seamlessly expedites the journey from sample collection to microscopic examination.

The innovation that sets Apacor apart is the vertical filtration unit, a patented technology that eliminates blockages, ensuring optimal sensitivity for parasite identification. This innovation has earned the stamp of approval from the Mayo Clinic and ARUP Laboratories.

This dedication to excellence extends beyond its offerings, as it collaborates closely with Techcyte, a leading player in AI-driven diagnostics, to pioneer revolutionary AI-based approach to parasite identification.

Harnessing the capabilities of AI, Techcyte’s system significantly enhances the sensitivity and precision of identifying parasites in wet mount and trichromestained samples. Parasites are identified with remarkable efficiency using AI, five times more sensitive than traditional microscopy. This alleviates the burden on microscopists, who can experience fatigue and strain from manual examinations.

Techcyte’s AI system seamlessly integrates with Apacor’s Parasep products, allowing the rapid and accurate detection of parasites in stool samples. The result is enhanced diagnostic accuracy and increased throughput in laboratory operations, ultimately saving valuable time for laboratory technicians.

Completing the trifecta of innovation is Pramana, a company that has garnered recognition for its exceptional scanning technology. Its Mayo Clinic-validated scanners are renowned for their ability to produce clear and detailed digital images of clinical samples. Its scanning technology leverages multi-depth mapping to deliver clarity and precision in parasitological identification.

Our faecal concentrators offer unparalleled sensitivity for parasite identification and deliver the quickest test turnaround times.

This synergy among Apacor, Techcyte, and Pramana results in a diagnostic ecosystem that is second to none, redefining the standards for parasitological identification.

Apacor’s commitment to innovation extends to meeting the diverse needs of its customers. With a wide range of product codes and variations, it ensures each customer receives a solution tailored to their requirements. Whether designing patient collection packs for at-home sample collection or providing specialized kits for laboratory use, Apacor’s flexibility and adaptability shines through.

This customer-centric approach extends to direct engagement with major laboratory groups in the U.S. to understand their needs and provide solutions that enhance diagnostics efficiency and accuracy. Apacor takes pride in being a hands-on partner providing solutions with unmatched agility and fast decision-making.

Blending cutting-edge faecal parasite concentrators, AI-powered identification technologies, and advanced scanners, Apacor has set new standards for precision and efficiency, offering many advantages to healthcare providers, pathologists, and lab technicians. It stands at the forefront of a transformation in parasitological identification, marking the beginning of an era characterized by exceptional diagnostic standards.
