Improved detection
of intestinal parasites

BD MAX™ Enteric Parasite Panel is designed to overcome
the limitations of diagnosis by microscopy

BD MAX™ Enteric Parasite Panel can be an effective, time-saving alternative to microscopy

  • The BD MAX™ Enteric Parasite Panel targets the three most common parasites in developed countries – Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium spp. and Entamoeba histolytica
  • Pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica1 cannot be differentiated from the non-pathogenic species Entamoeba dispar2 by traditional microscopy, which can result in missed diagnosis
  • More accurate diagnosis and results are essential for treatment decisions and public health information
  • BD MAX™ Enteric Parasite Panel is fully integrated on the BD MAX™ System providing the ability to consolidate molecular testing for enteric pathogens
