Abstract:
A feces sampling container having an increased storage stability of a component in a feces sample such as hemoglobin to enable the measurement of a component in a feces sample with a small amount of feces collected. The container includes a container body, and a feces sampling stick having a gripping part on one side and a stick part on the other side, the stick part having a feces sampling part in the vicinity of the tip, wherein the container body comprises an opening part through which the feces sampling part of the feces sampling stick is inserted, and a feces container chamber in which a desiccant is enclosed, wherein the feces sample held by the feces sampling part is dried by a contact of the feces sampling part, which is inserted through the opening part and holding the feces sample, with the desiccant.
