zinc sulfate procedure. Onthe other hand, the zinc sulfate procedure failed to detect Taenia eggsin onespecimenand Trichuriseggs in one oftwo specimens. In addition, the morphology ofGiardia cysts wasbetter preserved with the sedimentation procedures than with the flota-tion procedure. In addition to the concentration procedures
The purpose of this kinetic-bulk flotation was to obtain a rougher Cu concentrate with depression of Zn and Fe minerals with the addition of zinc sulphate at a high pH of 11.8. Fig. 10 depicts the Cu grade versus Cu recovery curves (after 3, 8 and 15 min of flotation) at the three sulphate concentrations. Cu recoveries are high reaching 96% in ...
After concentration of stool, only an iodine wet preparation is examined because. saline does not provide enough contrast for detection of parasites. One major advantage of the formalin-ethyl acetate concentration procedure over the zinc …
Each flotation solution have variable efficacy for individual parasite species and references should be consulted before choosing the ideal solution for detecting specific …
Flotation concentration of spores in feces followed by microscopic evaluation may overcome this problem and has been used to confirm mushroom exposure in humans and animals. ... We found that zinc sulfate flotation of partially digested mushroom samples yielded spore numbers adequate for microscopic visualization in 97.5% of trials where a ...

Abstract. Comparative evaluation of a modified zinc sulfate flotation technique. M S Bartlett, K Harper, N Smith, P Verbanac and J W Smith ABSTRACT A modified zinc sulfate flotation technique using Formalinized fecal specimens (F-ZnSO4) was compared to the Formalin-ether (FE) concentration method for the laboratory diagnosis of intestinal parasites.
a method using saturated zinc sulfate to separate parasitic elements from fecal debris through differences in specific gravity; most parasitic cysts, oocysts, spores, eggs, and larvae can be found in the surface film after centrifugation.
The faecal concentration methods based on sedimentation of parasites are useful for recovering heavy parasite eggs due to the concentration of the organisms in the sediment, whereas the centrifugal-flotation in zinc sulphate (9) is used …
By exploiting the density of the parasites, particularly eggs, it allows the parasites to float to the top of a dense solution (final specific gravity of about 1.20) and can then be skimmed from the top of the tube. The most commonly used reagent is …
1.20), magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4; SG 1.20), and zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4; SG 1.20). These solu-tions are effective, easy to make or commercially available, and relatively inexpensive. Flotation procedures vary from the simple to the complex. The simplest procedure involves mixing a small amount of feces with flotation
Zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 ·xH 2 O) is produced by reacting ZnO with sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). It is the most commonly used Zn fertilizer and it is available in the monohydrate and heptahydrate forms. ... Zinc supplementation in children improves mean serum zinc concentration, improves height, reduces diarrhea morbidity, and leads to a small ...
The high sugar concentration increases the specific gravity of the solution, causing the parasites to float. Zinc sulphate floatation Zinc sulphate or (Sheather's sugar) use solutions which have higher specific gravity than the organisms to be floated so that the organisms rise to the top and the debris sinks to the bottom.
10. 3. Pour off the clear supernatant, add a small quantity of zinc sulfate solution (specific gravity 1.18- 1.2) and resuspend the sediment well. 4. Add zinc sulfate solution to a little below the brim and centrifuge at 2,500 …

The faecal concentration methods based on sedimentation of parasites are useful for recovering heavy parasite eggs due to the concentration of the organisms in the sediment, whereas the centrifugal-flotation in zinc sulphate 9 is used preferentially to recover protozoa cysts because of the low density of parasitic forms as compared to the salt ...
parasitic detection after concentration in our study. Protozoan cysts were observed by direct microscopy method and two concentration methods (zinc sulphate floatation and …
Various concentration techniques like simple slat floatation, Zinc sulphate centrifugal floatation, formol-ether concentration and modified formol-ether concentration are employed for the …
Concentration by flotation Ova and cyst of parasites having a density lower than that of suspending medium are floated at the top of the medium. Saturated sodium chloride (Brine solution) and 33% zinc sulfate (ZNSO4) are suspending media.
Zinc sulfate flotation concentration technique was found to be most sensitive method in this study, then came Formal-Ethyl acetate at rate of (43%) and direct wet mount (22.3%) as shown in Table 2. Interestingly males were more infected with intestinal parasites (57.28%) than females (50%).as shown in Table 3. Children under
Saturated sodium chloride (Brine solution) and 33% zinc sulfate (ZNSO4) are suspending media. Concentration by sedimentation can be achieved by the following methods- Formalin- Ether or Formalin- Ethyl acetate method is the …
3. Resuspend and thoroughly mix the sediment in 12ml of zinc sulphate solution (specific gravity, 1.18 to 1.20, as verified with a hydrometer). 4. Centrifuge for one minute at 2500 rpm. Place tube in a rack in a vertical position and slowly add enough zinc sulphate with a dropper pipette to fill the tube so that an inverted meniscus forms. 5.
Additionally, the fecal concentration technique was performed with a zinc sulfate concentration of 33.0% for the concentration of eggs (2 g of feces were homogenized in 10 mL of water, filtered ...
The concentration procedures that constitute the main techniques applied in routine research and in parasitological kits are a) spontaneous sedimentation; b) centrifugation-sedimentation with formalin-ethyl acetate; and c) flotation with zinc sulfate solution.

In phase 1, quantitative spore recovery rates were determined following magnesium sulfate, modified Sheather's sugar solution, and zinc sulfate flotation (n=16 fungal species). In phase 2, mushrooms (n=40 fungal species) were macerated and digested for up to 2 hours in a salivary and gastric juice simulant.
