Saline Solution Rate Topic: ----- #1User is offline Owen Icon Saline solution is the medium that is used to make up the floatation solution used to analyse droppings. If it is done properly you can see round worms and their eggs under a very strong magnifying glass. You need the following:- A large saucepan 1/3 full of water. A lot of salt. Method:- bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the salt gradually. As you add the salt bring the solution back to the rolling boil. Continue until there is a residue of salt at the bottom of the pan. Carefully take the pan off the heat and cool. Be very careful because the solution is superheated and dangerous. When the solution is cool you have saline solution ready for your droppings tests. Cheers . Owen
