• Trusted by veterinarians, laboratories, universities, livestock producers, ranches, farms, and research professionals worldwide.
• No cover slip necessary—simple, efficient design for fast and accurate McMaster Method testing.
• High-quality, extremely durable acrylic microscope slide proudly made in the USA.
• Blue grid lines are permanently embedded inside the slide and will not rub off, allowing clear parasite egg visibility and accurate counting.
• Easy to clean with soap and water and designed for repeated long-term use.
• Includes FECRT (Fecal Egg Count Reduction Test) reference guide to help determine if your dewormer is actually working.
• Count parasite eggs before deworming to determine whether treatment is necessary.
• Count parasite eggs after deworming to verify treatment effectiveness and monitor parasite resistance.
• Supports responsible parasite management and helps prevent unnecessary overuse of dewormers.

• Prepare Sample — Mix a small amount of fecal matter with a specific volume of flotation solution (e.g., 2 grams of feces with 26 ml of solution) to create a uniform suspension. Stir thoroughly.
• Load the Slide — Carefully fill both chambers of the Eggzamin McMaster slide with the prepared fecal suspension. Ensure the suspension covers the grid lines within the chambers without overflowing.
• Count Parasite Eggs — Place the loaded slide under a microscope. Using the permanent blue grid lines as a guide, count all parasite eggs visible within the designated grid area in each chamber. Average the counts from both chambers.
• Calculate EPG — Multiply the average egg count per chamber by 100 to determine the Eggs Per Gram (EPG) of feces. This value indicates the parasite load and guides deworming decisions.
