Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a preparation method of excellent storage stability and handleability for sample feces, capable of preventing a nucleic acid in the sample feces from being decomposed or a protein thereof from being modified or the like, allowing efficient safe extraction from the sample feces, while reducing the risk of contamination and infection to the utmost, and allowing precise and highly sensitive detection, an extraction method or the like for the nucleic acid or protein using the preparation method, and a preparation container for the sample feces. SOLUTION: In this preparation method for the sample feces, the collected sample feces are formed into an easily crushable shape such as a plate-like shape having 0.5-5 mm of thickness, a fibrous shape having 0.5-5 mm of diameter and a granular shape having 1-10 mm of diameter, to be freezed thereafter. This preparation container for the sample feces has a cylindrical member 11 deformable elastically and provided with a plurality of recesses 11a1 for collecting feces, on a side face, a removing means 12 for removing excessive feces E out of the feces collected in the recesses 11a1 of the cylindrical member 11, and an extrusion member 13 capable of press-deforming the recesses 11a1 by insertion thereof from an inner side of the cylindrical member 11.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feces treatment method and a feces treatment container capable of performing stable nucleic acid recovery. SOLUTION: In this feces treatment container 1 equipped with a feces sampling tool 100, a suspension holding part 110 and a treating liquid holding part 120, wherein a feces sample preparing solution S is stored in a solution holding container 121, a feces sample E collected by the feces sampling tool 100 is adjusted into a fixed amount by scraping off excessive feces by a guide part 112 when the feces sampling tool 100 is fitted to a feces holding part 110. Thereafter, by pressing the feces sample E by a piston 103, the feces sample E is shredded and dispersed into feces holding container 111 by a dispersion member 113. By pressing the feces holding container 111 into the solution holding container 121, a projection part 115 drills and breaks a sealing film 122, to thereby mix the dispersed feces sample E with the feces sample preparing solution S. The feces sample E is shredded and dispersed, to thereby enable stable nucleic acid recovery. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
