ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and kits for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. Such methods include the concentration of a water sample to form a retentate followed by resolution the retentate by density centrifugation. At least one layer is formed which retains the microbes to be detected. The presence of microbes within resolved layers is then detected.
