Many valuable diagnostic tests depend on measurement of biomarkers found in faecal samples, but obtaining this material can sometimes be awkward for patients.

The EasySampler® makes collection of a faecal sample simple and quick, without any mess. The clever design fits perfectly to any toilet bowl and prevents contamination by water, urine or menstrual blood. The user simply peels back the tabs and sticks the EasySampler to the toilet bowl as shown in the instructions, then uses the toilet as normal. After collecting the sample, the tabs are released and everything is flushed away.

EasySampler is available bulk packed without instructions, bagged singly with instructions or in the convenient Mini kit or Triple kit form.

Easy to use, hygienic stool collection Disposable - simply flush away after use Avoids contamination - more accurate results Increased uptake on screening due to ease of use Both nurses and patients have contributed to the development

The European Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer Screening and Diagnosis suggests more patients will be invited to participate in the future, meaning more iFOBTs (immunochemical Faecal Occult Blood Tests) will be performed. Making collection of a stool sample easier to do should result in greater uptake, and avoiding contamination means fewer test repeats and greater confidence in results.
