Faecal sedimentation: Principle |  |
  |
Purpose |
||
| The majority of trematode eggs are too large and heavy to float reliably in the flotation fluids normally used for nematode eggs. They do however sink rapidly to the bottom of a faecal/water suspension and this is the basis of the faecal sedimentation technique. |
