The saturated sodium chloride solution serves as a flotation medium in parasite diagnostics. In doing so, it enables the differentiation and identification of eggs and cysts of parasitic organisms, making it an indispensable tool in veterinary medicine and medicine.

It is particularly suitable for the separation of lighter organic materials from heavier contaminants. The high density achieved by saturating water with sodium chloride allows parasite eggs and cysts to float to the surface of the solution while heavier components sink.

Chemically, it is a saturated solution of sodium chloride in water. The high salt concentration results in an increase in the density of the solution, which allows for the flotation of parasite eggs and cysts.

When using the flotation method, samples are mixed with the sodium chloride solution. Due to the high salt concentration, the light organic components, such as parasite eggs and cysts, float to the surface, while heavier contaminants sink. Thus, the solution enables effective and easy separation and analysis of the samples.
