The specific applications of iClean® fecal collection tubes are as follows:

Diagnosis of Intestinal Infectious Diseases
It can be used to collect fecal samples for detecting pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which helps diagnose intestinal infectious diseases like dysentery, cholera, rotavirus infection, and ascariasis. Through analyses such as microbial culture and nucleic acid testing of the samples, the types of pathogens can be identified, providing a basis for clinical treatment.
Diagnosis of Digestive System Diseases
It is beneficial for doctors to understand the function and pathological state of the patient’s digestive system. For example, detecting components such as fat, protein, and carbohydrates in feces can assist in diagnosing pancreatic diseases, intestinal malabsorption syndrome, etc. Examining occult blood in feces is of great significance for detecting hidden bleeding caused by digestive tract ulcers, tumors, and other conditions.

Infectious Disease Surveillance
In the prevention and control of infectious disease outbreaks, iClean® fecal collection tubes can be used for the collection of fecal samples from a large number of people to monitor the epidemic trends and transmission routes of intestinal infectious diseases. For instance, during outbreaks of cholera, hand – foot – and – mouth disease, etc., by testing the fecal samples of patients and close contacts, the source of infection can be identified in a timely manner, and prevention and control measures can be taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Research on Intestinal Flora
With the in – depth study of the relationship between the intestinal flora and human health, a large number of fecal samples need to be collected for analysis. iClean® fecal collection tubes can conveniently collect feces for studying the composition, diversity of the intestinal flora, and their association with diseases. This is of great value for understanding the role of the balance of the intestinal microecology in the pathogenesis of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Evaluation of Drug Efficacy
During the process of drug research and development, it is necessary to observe the effects of drugs on the intestine and their excretion in feces. iClean® fecal collection tubes are used to collect fecal samples from patients before and after drug administration, and the contents of drugs and their metabolites are detected to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drugs.
Research on the Treatment of Intestinal Diseases
For some new treatment methods for intestinal diseases, such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), fecal samples from healthy donors need to be collected. iClean® fecal collection tubes can ensure the quality and safety of fecal samples, providing support for the research and application of FMT treatment.
