A series of investigations evaluated the ability of different testing methods - a swing-head centrifugation technique using two flotation solutions (1.18-specific gravity zinc sulfate and 1.27-specific gravity Sheather's sugar solution), a passive commercial flotation technique, and the SNAP Giardia Test Kit from IDEXX Laboratories - to identify Giardia-positive dogs and recover the eggs of other intestinal parasites. It was determined that the SNAP Giardia test can improve a practice's ability to identify Giardia-infected dogs. Because of its higher specific gravity, the sugar solution was better for recovering heavy parasite eggs, such as Taenia spp, and thus is the flotation solution of choice when conducting routine centrifugation fecal examinations.
一系列调查评估了不同检测方法的能力——一种使用两种浮选溶液（比重为1.18的硫酸锌和比重为1.27的谢瑟氏糖溶液）的摆头离心技术、一种被动式商业浮选技术以及IDEXX实验室的SNAP贾第虫检测试剂盒——以识别感染贾第虫的犬只并回收其他肠道寄生虫的虫卵。结果确定，SNAP贾第虫检测可提高兽医诊所识别感染贾第虫犬只的能力。由于糖溶液比重较高，更适合回收较重的寄生虫卵，如带绦虫属的虫卵，因此是进行常规粪便离心检查时的首选浮选溶液。
