Technical Note: A guide for optimizing sample volume for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts by USEPA method 1622
Water turbidity measurements were used to determine guidelines for optimizing sample volumes for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in surface water by method 1622 (USEPA, 2001). The optimum sample volumes for turbidities of < 2, 2–10, and >10 ntu were determined to be 50, 35, and 10 L, respectively. Use of the optimum‐volumes strategy suggested in this study would save sample filtration time, enhance filter performance, and offset the poor recovery efficiency of oocysts that typically results from higher volumes of water with high turbidity.
