消化器疾患、特に消化管出血のスクリーニング法として
知られており、消化管の潰瘍並びに癌等の出血性疾患の
診断上非常に重要である。[0003] Among the above-mentioned tests, detection of occult blood in feces is known as a screening method for gastrointestinal diseases, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding, and is very important for diagnosis of bleeding diseases such as gastrointestinal ulcers and cancer. is there.
【０００４】糞便中の潜血の検出法としては、最近報告

試薬を利用した所謂試験紙による検出法に比べて特異性
や感度の点で優れており、前記疾患の新しいスクリーニ
ング法として注目されている。As a method for detecting occult blood in feces, a detection method based on a recently reported immunological reaction principle (for example, see JP-A-59-125064) is a so-called test paper using a conventional guaiac reagent. Is superior in terms of specificity and sensitivity as compared with the detection method according to US Pat.
【０００５】ところで、免疫学的な反応原理に基づく糞
便中の潜血の検出法を実施するためには、前もってある
程度定量的に糞便を採取し、これを適当な液体に懸濁さ
せて所定の糞便懸濁液を調製しておく必要がある。By the way, in order to carry out a method of detecting occult blood in feces based on the immunological reaction principle, feces are quantitatively collected in advance to a certain extent, and the feces are suspended in an appropriate liquid to obtain predetermined feces. A suspension must be prepared.

る。[0006] Since the immunological detection reagent is set in advance so as to obtain a sensitivity corresponding to the expected amount of the specimen, ie, feces, if the amount of the test feces is too small, the sensitivity is lowered. Conversely, if the amount of stool to be examined is too large, it is inconvenient for transportation, for example, by mail, and causes odor. In addition, a problem arises when an extra sample (test stool) is disposed after the test.

きのないことが反応感度を安定させる上で必要である。For example, when a suspension from a stool sample collected in a stool collection container is subjected to analysis by an automatic analyzer, a predetermined amount of the stool sample is collected from each container in order to react quantitatively with the detection reagent as described above. The filtrate is obtained in the amount of the drop, and it is necessary that the amount of the drop does not vary in order to stabilize the reaction sensitivity.

査感度を得ることが困難になる。However, since the filtration area of a filter used for a small-diameter feces collection container is extremely small, undigested solids of feces existing in the suspension cover the filtration surface and precipitate. Efficiency tends to decrease. This precipitation depends on the size and shape of the solid matter, and particularly in the case of faeces that are difficult to filter, so-called “impermeability,”
In some cases, only two drops of the filtrate can be obtained, and the filtrate obtained between each collection container varies widely, making it difficult to obtain a stable inspection sensitivity.

をフィルタを通して外部に滴下させる。In the container for collecting and transporting feces of the present invention, feces are collected at the lower end of the feces sampling rod integrated with the lid, and then the distal end is inserted into the container body. The feces on the peripheral surface of the distal end of the feces sampling rod are scraped off when passing through the separation wall, and a predetermined amount of feces remaining in the spiral groove is suspended in the liquid in the sealed container body, and the test sample and Become. This transport and collection container can be sent by a mail envelope or the like while the suspension is sealed as described above. At the time of inspection, the thin portion of the drip portion is punctured and the suspension is dropped outside through the filter.

液中に沈降しながら分散懸濁する。In the present invention, the feces housed in the groove of the feces sampling rod are dissolved and dispersed in the suspension medium in the container body. In this case, the solids in the feces are removed from the center hole of the ring-shaped stopper member. In each of the deposition sections formed between the inflow section formed in the section, the outer peripheral wall of the stopper member, and the inner peripheral wall of the container body, they are dispersed and suspended while settling in the liquid.

に沈積する厚み（高さ）がより減少する。According to the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the inflow portion of the stopper member in the cylindrical diameter direction is gradually increased from the upper open end to the lower open end side in contact with the filtering surface (therefore, the cross-sectional area of the sediment portion in the cylindrical radial direction is lowered). , The amount of dispersed solids that settles in the inlet is relatively reduced. Further, when the solid dispersed substance of the suspension is introduced into the inflow portion of the stopper member and allowed to stand for a long time, the solid substance deposited on the filtration surface precipitates over a wide range by this diameter expansion ratio. The thickness (height) of the solid material deposited on the filtration surface is further reduced.
【００１９】このような状態で糞便の検査時に容器本体

れることはない。Further, when the suspension of the container body above the inflow portion and the suspension above the sedimentation portion is introduced into the inflow portion by squeezing the container body, the suspension of these portions when the container body is allowed to stand still. Since some solid matter has already been separated from the liquid, the filtration efficiency is not reduced during filtration by the filter.

安定した感度での分析試験が可能になる。Therefore, in the stool collection container of the present invention, the solid deposition on the filtration surface is small, so that the efficiency of filtration when the suspension is dropped during the analysis of the stool sample is improved, and the stool is dropped depending on the properties of the sample. Analytical tests with stable sensitivity can be performed without causing large variations in the amount.

場合さらに顕著なものとなる。In this embodiment, even if a large solid material closes the upper end opening of the inflow portion before the container body is completely squeezed, the suspension can continue to flow from the inflow hole into the inflow portion. it can. Further, in such an embodiment, when the solid matter is dispersed in the liquid medium, a part of the solid matter enters the inflow portion through the radial inflow hole, but the solid matter having a relatively large specific gravity moves horizontally during the sedimentation. It hardly spreads and settles in the sedimentation area around the stopper member.
Liquid separation occurs and the amount of solids deposited on the filter surface is further reduced. These effects are even more remarkable in the case where the top surface of the upper opening end is completely closed while leaving only the radial inflow hole.

The length is not particularly limited as long as it has a length such that the stool bar fixed to the stool cannot be used. The size of the container body is set to a maximum diameter of 10 mm or less so that the container body can be sent and / or returned by means of a mail envelope (standard form). Further, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or the like can be used as the material of the container body. In particular, a flexible material such as polyethylene or polypropylene is advantageous because the fecal suspension in the container body is easily extruded.

で、流入部７Ｃには固体物はほとんど流入しない。Here, the solids suspended in the aqueous solution gradually settle down inside the container body 1, but most of the solids are closed by the stopper ring 7 which is closed at its upper end 7A. 7 settles at the bottom of the sediment 8 between the outer peripheral wall 7 and the inner peripheral wall of the container body 1. Some solid matter is dispersed in the suspension inside the inflow portion 7C through the through hole 7D in the peripheral wall of the stopper ring 7. However, the solid matter having a relatively large specific gravity hardly disperses in the radial direction during the downward settling, so that the solid matter hardly flows into the inflow portion 7C.

く減少される。Even if a very small portion of the solid matter is dispersed in the suspension inside the inflow portion 7C, the inflow portion 7C is enlarged in diameter toward the lower end opening 7B in contact with the filter surface of the filter 6. Therefore, the inflowing solid material spreads over a large area on the filtration surface, and the height (thickness) of the sedimentary layer is significantly reduced as the diameter increases.

つ各容器間でほとんどはらつきがない。In this case, as described above, most of the solids in the suspension settle at the bottom of the sedimentation section 8 and hardly exist on the filter filtration surface. Therefore, the filter efficiency is independent of the properties of the sample feces. It is good and constant, and the drop amount obtained during the analysis test is sufficient for the analysis sample, and there is almost no fluctuation between the containers.

れるThe present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications and changes are possible. For example, as the stopper ring, in addition to the structure shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 3, an upper end portion 7A of an inflow portion 7C is opened and a comb-shaped notch portion 7E is provided in a peripheral portion thereof to form a radial inflow hole. Good. Also in this case, the area of the lower opening end 7B of the stopper ring 7 is made sufficiently larger than the sum of the upper opening 7A and the notch 7A (7A + 7D is 1/3 or less of 7B), so that almost the same dripping is performed. Increases the number and stabilizes sensitivity

て検査の際の分析感度を安定させることができる。As described above, in the stool collection container of the present invention, the hollow tubular stopper member in contact with the filter surface of the filter is formed concentrically with a smaller diameter than the container main body, and the outer peripheral wall of the stopper member and the container main body are formed. A sedimentation section for separating and sedimenting the solid matter in the suspension between the inner peripheral wall and the radially cross-sectional area of the stopper member from the upper end to the lower end of the filtration surface opening gradually. Therefore, when a fecal suspension is generated in the container body, the thickness (height) of the solid matter deposited on the filter filtration surface is reduced, and the filtration efficiency is improved. Is increased and the variation is reduced, so that the analysis sensitivity at the time of inspection can be stabilized.

される。In particular, when an inflow hole penetrating through the peripheral wall in the radial direction is formed in the inflow portion of the stopper member, most of the solid matter settling in the suspension is settled in the sedimentation portion as it is. Since there is little dispersion in the suspension in the inlet from the directional inlet, the deposition of solids on the filtration surface is significantly reduced.
