Hi all, I have received some parasitic stool samples, one fixed in formalin, the other in PVU. My tasks are: 1) to try to remove as much debris from the stool sample as possible while keeping the parasites intact (I need to try to filter it without harming the very fragile organisms) 2) once I am able to separate the organisms, I need to stain them. We have tried using a Gram stain and it does not work, we are thinking we should try a Giemsa and an H&E. If anyone has ever worked with anything similar, I would really appreciate some feedback, suggestions, advice with how to filter these samples and stain them.
