| Paper want to compare heating crypto oocyst before DAPI staining and non-heating treatment before DAPI staining. Article believes that by increasing the temperature of the oocysts, the permeability of the oocyst cell wall will also increase, hence more accurate results can be achieved | main objective |
| confirmation of heating the crypto cyst increase the accuracy of the results. Pure samples had a higher recovery rate compared to the river water samples because pure sample was better buffered. better buffered pH solution tend to have much higher DAPI confirmation rate | main findings |
| pH uffering, ionic strength and the water's interaction with humic substances and minerals should be taken into account for better comparison. Paper did not indicate what season the river sample was taken, temperature of the river sample could vary with seasonal changes. | paper critiques |
