parasitology part 1: uses saturated table salt solution; stools are directly mixed with the brine solution
(SG: 1.20)
- Helminth eggs like Hookworm and Schistosoma become badly shrunken
- Not useful for operculated eggs like Clonorchis, Opistorchis, and Heterophyids
because these do not float in brine solution.
