Request a QuoteProduct Introduction
The HD-TW100 Giardia and Cryptosporidium Filtration Enrichment and Detection System is designed for the detection of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in drinking water, source water, and municipal water supply systems.
The system is based on the membrane concentration / density gradient separation fluorescence antibody method, which is included in GB/T 5750.12-2023 Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water. It completes sample enrichment through membrane filtration and calcium carbonate precipitation methods, and then uses an artificial intelligence-based observation system to automatically scan and identify Giardia and Cryptosporidium samples.
The HD-TW100 provides an integrated workflow from sample enrichment to automatic scanning, image recognition, and report generation. It is suitable for water quality monitoring laboratories, drinking water testing institutions, disease control laboratories, municipal water supply companies, environmental monitoring agencies, and third-party testing laboratories.
Working Principle
The HD-TW100 system uses filtration enrichment, precipitation enrichment, fluorescence antibody detection, and AI-assisted image recognition.
For water samples with different turbidity levels, the system selects a suitable enrichment method. Low-turbidity samples can be processed through membrane filtration, while high-turbidity samples can be processed through calcium carbonate precipitation enrichment.
After enrichment, the sample is prepared for fluorescence antibody detection. The automatic scanning observation system moves the stage automatically and scans the sample frame by frame. Based on a multidimensional image database of Giardia and Cryptosporidium, the AI algorithm automatically identifies target organisms, generates panoramic scanning images, and outputs a detection report.
This workflow helps improve detection efficiency, reduce manual observation workload, and provide more standardized reporting for waterborne protozoan parasite testing.

The movable stage automatically scans the sample area, reducing the need for long-term manual microscopic observation. The AI recognition system helps identify suspected Giardia and Cryptosporidium targets based on image features and database comparison.
About Giardia and Cryptosporidium
Giardia and Cryptosporidium are commonly referred to as the “two parasites” in drinking water testing. They are protozoan parasites that can live in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and many other mammals.
These organisms are important waterborne zoonotic pathogens. They are resistant to chlorine and may pass through conventional water treatment processes into drinking water systems. Human infection may cause diarrhea, dehydration, and severe health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
According to GB 5749-2022 Standards for Drinking Water Quality, Giardia and Cryptosporidium in drinking water should be less than 1 organism / 10 L.
Because of their public health significance and resistance to conventional disinfection, reliable detection and enrichment systems are important for drinking water safety monitoring.
