Back in the day when we were still using monocular scopes for class demonstrations and we didn't have a Giardia IFA to diagnose that fun time critter. We had a student come visit after a long hiking trip in the Sierra's. He had come down with GI problems. Going through regular channels his fecal sample end up at the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Knowing this was most likely a parasite issue he came to my lab, Within 15 minutes we hade set up the ZnSO4 centrifugal flotation test. and we could see fields of Giardia cysts. I took another month for the MDH to ID the Giardia.
