This is the EPA
Method 1622/1623 Microscopy module on
Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to evaluate the risk to public health posed by drinking water contaminants, including waterborne parasites such as
Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. Method 1622/1623 uses filtration,
immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and microscopy to detect
Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. This module was developed to aid new and experienced
analysts in the proper identification and characterization of
Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. This module also targets the characteristics of interfering organisms.
