A solution that works best for recovering undistorted protozoan cysts and nematode larvae from fecal samples?

A sucrose flotation technique is commonly used to recover undistorted protozoan cysts and nematode larvae from fecal samples. The technique involves suspending the fecal sample in a saturated solution of sucrose, which allows the heavy cysts and larvae to float to the top, making them easier to collect and examine. Simply mix the fecal sample with the sucrose solution, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cysts and larvae to float, and then collect and examine the layer at the surface for analysis.
