TCS is currently Europe's leading supplier to the water industry of testing reagents for Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Our range includes the best Fluorescent stains, precise quantitative controls, and our popular Isolate^® IMS equipment and reagents.

Although the stringent water industry Cryptosporidium testing regulations are no longer in force, we have retained our system for ensuring continuity of supply, which means we always have stocks of key products available for immediate despatch.

Isolate^® offers unique, semi automated immunomagnetic separation (IMS) of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental water samples. The unique automation of the Isolate^® test standardises the rocking motion, resulting in improved consistency and reliability of results.

Isolate^® yields increased recoveries of oocysts and produces good results even when using dirty water samples. In addition Isolate^® is able to process pellets up to 2 ml in volume, reducing the need for split samples and multiple slides.

Cryptosporidium oocysts in the concentrate are captured and separated by magnetic action. Separated oocysts are stained with an approved Fluorescent antibody stain, and visualised by fluorescence microscopy.

Since we began offering Fluorescent stains in 2000, we have emerged as Europe's leading specialist supplier of Cryptosporidium and Giardia positive controls, reagents and equipment. We have focused on building a product range that includes innovative products from around the world, and which is unrivalled by any other supplier of Cryptosporidium and Giardia related products in Europe.
