Dear All,

I am looking into detecting giardia and cryptsporidium cysts and oocysts in
environmental samples using flow cytometry. However, due to safety
constraints, I need to inactivate the cysts and oocysts prior to running
them through the cytometer. Does anyone have related experience in this
area? What are the methods that are used to inactivate these parasites
whilst inflicting minimum changes in them?

Thank you.
