Dear All
I have had a request from Glenys Jones about the measurement of fecal fat.
Are there any labs who can help with a quantitative measurement? I think
staining for fat globules would not be sensitive enough. Could you reply to
Glenys directly. [log in to unmask]
Thank you for your help. - Paul
