Description

本発明は、糞便を試料として採取する、試料採取部材、試料取り出し部材、及びそれらを備えた試料採取キットに関する。   The present invention relates to a sample collection member, a sample take-out member, and a sample collection kit including the sample collection member for collecting stool as a sample.

日本国内において大腸がんは増加傾向にあり、その原因は食生活の欧米化にあると考えられている。
この大腸がんを早期に発見できる検査方法として便潜血検査がある。大腸がんでは、大腸粘膜にできたがんに糞便が接触し出血するため、糞便に血液が混ざる特徴がある。便潜血検査はこの出血を見つける検査方法である(非特許文献1)。便潜血検査は糞便を少量採取することで検査が行なえ、検査を受ける側にとって簡単で費用負担も少ないことから、早期に大腸がんを発見できる方法として健康診断などで広く行われている。
しかし、便潜血検査は痔で陽性となってしまうというような欠点もある。そこで、糞便中の腫瘍マーカや糞便の中に剥離したがん細胞などを検出する方法が試みられている。
Colorectal cancer is increasing in Japan, and the cause is thought to be the westernization of dietary habits.
There is a fecal occult blood test as a test method that can detect colorectal cancer at an early stage. In colorectal cancer, since feces come into contact with the cancer of the large intestine mucosa and bleed, blood is mixed in the feces. The fecal occult blood test is a test method for finding this bleeding (Non-patent Document 1). The fecal occult blood test can be performed by collecting a small amount of stool, and is easy and less costly for the person receiving the test. Therefore, it is widely used in medical examinations as a method for early detection of colorectal cancer.
However, the fecal occult blood test also has the drawback of being positive with sputum. Therefore, methods for detecting tumor markers in stool and cancer cells detached in stool have been tried.

大腸は奥の方から、盲腸、上行結腸、横行結腸、下行結腸、S状結腸、直腸、肛門となっている。このうち、盲腸と上行結腸を通るときの糞便は液状である(非特許文献1)ので、この部分のがんからのマーカや剥離したがん細胞は便全体に混ざると考えられる。一方、下行結腸、S状結腸、直腸と肛門に近づくにつれて糞便は固化してくるので、マーカや剥離したがん細胞は糞便の表面に付着しやすくなる。
また、特許文献1の発明要旨には、結腸上皮細胞の細胞および細胞片は形成中の糞便の表面上に、糞便の長さに沿った長軸方向の「筋(stripe)」の物質として流出することが認識されているとの記述があり、糞便の円周表面、横断面の部分を得る工程を含む疾患マーカをスクリーニングする方法が示されている。ただし、糞便の円周表面、横断面の部分を実際に得る方法や用具については、実施例に、容器に糞便から少なくとも1つの横断面部分を取り出すための手段を備える旨の記述があるが、その具体的な用具については示されていない。
マーカや剥離したがん細胞などを検出するために糞便を採取する用具としては、例えば、特許文献2に記載のものがある。これは、糞便に突き刺すことにより0.5グラム以上の糞便を採取できる容量を有するシリンジと、それを収納する収納容器を含む便採取キットである。

From the back, the large intestine is the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus. Among these, since feces when passing through the cecum and ascending colon are in a liquid state (Non-Patent Document 1), it is considered that the marker from this part of the cancer and the detached cancer cells are mixed in the entire stool. On the other hand, since feces solidify as they approach the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus, markers and detached cancer cells tend to adhere to the surface of the feces.
Further, in the gist of the invention of Patent Document 1, cells and cell pieces of colon epithelial cells flow out on the surface of the forming stool as a substance of “stripe” in the longitudinal direction along the length of the stool. And a method for screening a disease marker including a step of obtaining a circumferential surface and a cross-sectional portion of stool. However, for the method and tool for actually obtaining the circumferential surface of the stool, the cross-sectional part, there is a description in the examples that the container is provided with means for taking out at least one cross-sectional part from the stool, The specific tool is not shown.
As a tool for collecting stool in order to detect a marker, a detached cancer cell, or the like, there is one described in Patent Document 2, for example. This is a stool collection kit including a syringe having a capacity capable of collecting 0.5 g or more of stool by piercing the stool and a storage container for storing the syringe.
Special Table 2002-515973 JP 2006-138815 Homepage "Tummy Health.com", [online], http://www.onaka-kenko.com/earlydetection/digestive-organ/pdf/large-intestine-cancer.pdf

糞便が液状である盲腸や上行結腸からのマーカは糞便全体に混ざり、肛門に近い部位のマーカは糞便の表面に付着するため、糞便の表面ならび内側の部分を採取することはマーカや剥離したがん細胞などを検出するとともにがんの部位を特定する上で重要である。
特に、表面上のマーカや剥離したがん細胞は糞便の長さ方向に筋状に存在するため、糞便表面の一部分しか採取しない場合、採取した部分が、がんができている部位から外れていると、その糞便の中にマーカや剥離したがん細胞が含まれない。また、一部分しか採取しないと、検出に必要な量を取ることができない可能性がある。
したがって、がんの有無を検出する場合には、糞便の全体をまんべんなくサンプリングすることが重要であり、また、がんの部位を特定するためには、糞便の表面と内部を分けてサンプリングすることが重要となる。
Markers from the cecum and ascending colon where the stool is liquid are mixed in the entire stool, and markers near the anus adhere to the surface of the stool. It is important for detecting cancer cells and identifying cancer sites.
In particular, since markers on the surface and exfoliated cancer cells are streaked along the length of the stool, if only a part of the stool surface is collected, the collected part may be disengaged from the site where the cancer has formed. The stool contains no markers or exfoliated cancer cells. Further, if only a part is collected, there is a possibility that the amount necessary for detection cannot be taken.
Therefore, when detecting the presence or absence of cancer, it is important to sample the entire stool evenly, and in order to identify the cancer site, the stool surface and the inside should be sampled separately. Is important.

しかるに、特許文献2の便採取キットでは、糞便にシリンジを突き刺すことにより糞便を採取しているが、突き刺すタイプのシリンジでは、表面の糞便は突き刺した部分しか取れない。このため、採取する糞便の部分によっては、採取した糞便の中に、糞便の表面にあったマーカや剥離したがん細胞が含まれないか、または少量しか含まれないという問題がある。   However, in the stool collection kit of Patent Document 2, stool is collected by piercing the stool with a syringe, but the stool of the piercing type can take only the stabbed portion on the surface. For this reason, depending on the portion of the stool collected, there is a problem that the collected stool does not contain markers or detached cancer cells on the surface of the stool or contains only a small amount.

このようなことが起きないようにするためには、シリンジの先端で、糞便の上面や側面のできるだけ多くの部分を擦るようにして糞便を採取する必要がある。このとき、糞便の上面はシリンジの先端を当てやすいが、側面はシリンジを縦方向に動かしながら糞便に当てる場所を変えていかなければならない。または、排便後の糞便がある便器内でシリンジを倒してその先端で糞便の側面をなぞらなければならない。   In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to collect feces by rubbing as much of the upper surface or side surface of the feces as possible with the tip of the syringe. At this time, the upper surface of the stool is easy to hit the tip of the syringe, but the side of the stool must be changed in the place where it is applied to the stool while moving the syringe vertically. Alternatively, the syringe must be brought down in the toilet with stool after defecation and the side of the stool must be traced at the tip.

糞便の側面に縦方向にシリンジを当てる場合は、糞便の断面がおおよそ円形のため、糞便が回転しやすい。その結果、糞便が採取できずに糞便が回転するだけとなりやすい。さらに、便器内でシリンジを横に倒して糞便の側面から採取する場合には、便器内に手やシリンジが触れやすいので採取者が気を使わなくてはならない。そして、触れた場合には不衛生となる。   When a syringe is applied to the side of the stool in the vertical direction, the stool is likely to rotate because the stool has a substantially circular cross section. As a result, the feces cannot be collected and the feces simply rotate. Furthermore, when collecting a syringe from the side of the stool while lying down sideways in the toilet bowl, the collector must be careful because the hand and syringe are easy to touch in the toilet bowl. And when touched, it becomes unsanitary.

また、シリンジで糞便を突き刺した場合には、糞便の硬さや大きさによっては、糞便にシリンジが突き刺さったまま、糞便の塊がシリンジの外部にくっつき、それを採取者が除かないと、容器に入れられない。   In addition, when the stool is stabbed with a syringe, depending on the hardness and size of the stool, the stool lump sticks to the outside of the syringe while the stool is stuck, and the sampler does not remove it. I can't put it in.

このように、従来の便採取キットは、採取者が試料、特に糞便の表面をまんべんなく採取したり、内部の糞便も採取する等、試料の任意の部分を採取し、採取した糞便を検査に用いることが容易ではなかった。   As described above, the conventional stool collection kit collects an arbitrary part of the sample such as the sampler collecting the sample, particularly the surface of the stool, or collecting the stool inside, and uses the collected stool for the test. It was not easy.

本発明は、上記従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、採取者が試料、特に糞便の表面をまんべんなく簡単に採取することができ、さらには表面だけでなく内部の糞便も簡単に採取することができるなど、試料の任意の部分を容易に採取して、容易に検査に用いることのできる、試料採取部材、試料取り出し部材、及びそれらを備えた試料採取キットを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the sampler can easily collect the sample, particularly the surface of the stool, and easily collect not only the surface but also the internal stool.

また、本発明の試料採取部材は、試料採取部の試料保持溝が薄板状空間を形成するので、低粘度の試料を採取する場合であっても、毛細管現象を介して試料を試料保持溝の中に採取できる。
Prior to the description of the embodiment, the function and effect of the present invention will be described.
In the sample collecting member of the present invention, the sample collecting portion is configured to include at least one thin plate-like side wall portion, and forms a thin plate-like space whose longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the depth direction. It has a substantially U-shaped sample holding groove and a corner that can cut the sample along the opening of the sample holding groove.
In this way, the side surface of the sample collection part is set to an angle nearly parallel to the sample, the opening of the sample holding groove is directed to the sample, and the surface sample of the sample is simply rubbed. The sample can be collected in the sample holding groove while scraping. Therefore, by rubbing the entire surface portion of the sample, the surface portion of the sample can be easily collected evenly.
On the other hand, when the inside of the sample is collected, the sample inside can be collected in the sample holding groove while cutting the sample at the corner by pressing the opening of the sample holding groove against the sample. .
Therefore, according to the sample collection member of the present invention, the stool of the entire surface and the stool inside can be easily collected with one member.
In the sample collecting member of the present invention, since the capacity of the sample holding groove of the sample collecting unit is constant, the sample can be collected quantitatively. In this case, it is more preferable that the capacity of the sample holding groove is designed to be a predetermined amount suitable for inspection.
Further, in the sample collecting member of the present invention, since the sample holding groove of the sample collecting part forms a thin plate-like space, even when a low-viscosity sample is collected, the sample is removed from the sample holding groove through capillary action. Can be collected inside.

なお、本発明の試料採取部材における試料採取部の試料保持溝は、二つの薄板状の側壁部を対向させた状態に備えて構成されているのが好ましい。このようにすれば、試料採取部全体が薄板状になるため、試料の内部を採取する場合に試料を切り取り易くなる。   In addition, it is preferable that the sample holding groove of the sample collecting portion in the sample collecting member of the present invention is configured to be prepared in a state where two thin plate-like side wall portions are opposed to each other. In this way, since the entire sample collection part becomes a thin plate, it is easy to cut out the sample when collecting the inside of the sample.

また、本発明の試料採取部材の試料採取部には、試料採取時に把持する把持部が接続されているのが好ましい。このようにすれば、試料の採取操作がし易くなる。なお、把持部は、試料採取部の一端に接続されているとより試料の採取操作がし易くなる。   Moreover, it is preferable that the sample collection part of the sample collection member of the present invention is connected to a grasping part to be grasped at the time of sample collection. In this way, it is easy to perform sample collection operations. It should be noted that the sample collection operation becomes easier when the gripping unit is connected to one end of the sample collection unit.

また、本発明の試料採取部材においては、さらに、試料採取部を収容する、試料採取部収容容器を有するとともに、試料採取部収容容器に試料採取部を収容した状態で試料採取部収容容器の開口を閉じる蓋を、試料保持溝と把持部との間に備えるのが好ましい。
このようにすれば、他の容器を用いることなく、試料を試料採取部に採取したまま保存できる。

このように構成された第一実施形態の試料採取部材を用いて試料を採取する、採取操作について説明する。
試料の表面を採取する場合には、把持部12を把持しながら、試料採取部11を、例えば、側壁部11a1が側壁部11a2よりも試料に近くなるように、試料の表面に対して平行に近い角度でもって、試料保持溝11aの開口が試料に向くように傾ける。そして、試料の表面近傍を、図3(a)に示すように、試料Eの長手方向(図3(a)に示す矢印A方向)に沿ってこする。すると、側壁部11a1の縁に設けられた角部11b11,11b12が、試料Eの表面部分を削り取る。このとき、側壁部11a1が薄板状に形成されているため、削り取られた試料Eは、側壁部11a1を容易に乗り越えて、開口から試料保持溝11aの中に入る。試料保持溝11aの中に入った試料Eは、図3(d)に示すように、試料保持溝11aを構成する側壁部11a1,11a2の内側面及び底面11a3を介して保持される。
そこで、試料Eの表面部分を全面にわたってこすることで、試料の表面部分をまんべんなく容易に採取することができる。
A collection operation for collecting a sample using the sample collection member of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described.
When the surface of the sample is collected, the sample collecting unit 11 is held with respect to the surface of the sample so that the side wall part 11a 1 is closer to the sample than the side wall part 11a 2 while holding the holding part 12, for example. The sample holding groove 11a is inclined at an angle close to parallel so that the opening of the sample holding groove 11a faces the sample. Then, the vicinity of the surface of the sample is rubbed along the longitudinal direction of sample E (the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 3A) as shown in FIG. Then, the corner portions 11b 11 and 11b 12 provided at the edge of the side wall portion 11a 1 scrape off the surface portion of the sample E. At this time, since the side wall 11a 1 is formed in a thin plate shape, the scraped sample E easily gets over the side wall 11a 1 and enters the sample holding groove 11a from the opening. As shown in FIG. 3D, the sample E that has entered the sample holding groove 11a is held via the inner side surface and the bottom surface 11a 3 of the side wall portions 11a 1 and 11a 2 that constitute the sample holding groove 11a. .
Therefore, by rubbing the entire surface portion of the sample E, the surface portion of the sample can be easily collected evenly.

また、試料の内部における断面部分を採取する場合には、例えば、図3(b)に示すように、把持部12を把持しながら、試料採取部11を、側壁部11a1,11a2の板面を試料Eに対して略垂直に近い角度でもって、試料保持溝11aの開口の長手方向が試料Eの長手方向に対して交差するようにして、試料保持溝11aの開口を試料Eに押し当てる。そして、試料Eの長手方向を横断するように、所定方向(図3(b)では矢印B方向)に力を加える。すると、側壁部11a1,11a2の縁に設けられた角部11b(11b11,11b12,11b21,11b22)が、試料Eの所定部位を切断する。切断された所定部位における角部11b11と角部11b21の間の試料Eは、表面部及び内部に致るまでのものが、開口から試料保持溝11aの中に入る。試料保持溝11aの中に入った試料Eは、図3(d)に示すように、試料保持溝11aを構成する側壁部11a1,11a2の内側面及び底面11a3を介して保持される。 Further, in the case of collecting a cross-sectional portion inside the sample, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the sample collecting unit 11 is placed on the side wall portions 11a 1 and 11a 2 while holding the holding unit 12. The opening of the sample holding groove 11a is pushed against the sample E so that the surface of the sample holding groove 11a intersects the longitudinal direction of the sample E at an angle substantially perpendicular to the sample E. Hit it. Then, a force is applied in a predetermined direction (the arrow B direction in FIG. 3B) so as to cross the longitudinal direction of the sample E. Then, corner portions 11b (11b 11 , 11b 12 , 11b 21 , 11b 22 ) provided on the edges of the side wall portions 11a 1 and 11a 2 cut a predetermined portion of the sample E. Sample E between corners 11b 11 and the corner portion 11b 21 in the cutting, predetermined sites are those to the surface portion and致Ru therein and into the sample-holding groove 11a from the opening. As shown in FIG. 3D, the sample E that has entered the sample holding groove 11a is held via the inner side surface and the bottom surface 11a 3 of the side wall portions 11a 1 and 11a 2 that constitute the sample holding groove 11a. .

また、試料の内部における特定部位を採取する場合には、例えば、図3(c)に示すように、把持部12を把持しながら、試料採取部11を、試料保持溝11aの開口の先端が試料Eに向くようにして、試料保持溝11aの開口を試料Eの特定部位に押し当てる。そして、試料採取部11を試料Eに突き刺す。すると、試料保持溝11aの開口の先端の角部11b(11b11,11b12,11b21,11b22)が試料の特定部位を切り取る。切り取られた特定部位における角部11b11と角部11b21の間の試料Eは、突き刺した所定の深さに対応するものが、開口から試料保持溝11aの中に入る。試料採取部11を試料Eに突き刺すと同時に手前に引いて試料Eを切るようにしてもよい。試料保持溝11aの中に入った試料Eは、図3(d)に示すように、試料保持溝11aを構成する側壁11a1,11a2の内側面及び底面11a3を介して保持される。 Further, when collecting a specific part inside the sample, for example, as shown in FIG. 3C, while holding the gripping part 12, the tip of the opening of the sample holding groove 11a is held at the tip of the sample holding groove 11a. The opening of the sample holding groove 11a is pressed against a specific part of the sample E so as to face the sample E. Then, the sample collection unit 11 is pierced into the sample E. Then, the corner portion 11b of the tip of the opening of the sample-holding groove 11a (11b 11, 11b 12, 11b 21, 11b 22) is cut out specific site of the sample. The sample E between the corner 11b 11 and the corner 11b 21 at the cut-out specific part corresponds to the pierced predetermined depth and enters the sample holding groove 11a from the opening. The sample collecting unit 11 may be pierced into the sample E and pulled at the same time, and the sample E may be cut. As shown in FIG. 3 (d), the sample E that has entered the sample holding groove 11a is held via the inner side surfaces and the bottom surface 11a 3 of the side walls 11a 1 and 11a 2 that constitute the sample holding groove 11a.

このように、第一実施形態の試料採取部材1によれば、一つの試料採取部材でもって、表面全体の糞便と内部の糞便を簡単に採取することができる。
なお、試料採取部11における試料保持溝11aは、容量が一定であるため、試料を定量的に採取することができる。この場合、試料保持溝11aの容量を検査に適した所定量となるように設計するとより好ましい。
また、試料採取部11の試料保持溝11aが、薄板状空間を形成するので、採取する試料が低粘度の場合であっても、毛細管現象を介して試料を試料保持溝11aの中に採取できる。

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a configuration of a sample taking-out member according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention and a usage mode when taking out a sample from a sample collecting portion using the sample taking-out portion, and (a) shows a sample. The figure which shows the mode when inserting the taking-out part from the side closest to the gripping part in the side of the sample holding groove, (b) is the insertion of the sample taking-out part into the sample holding groove as shown in (a), The figure which shows the mode when it slides toward the tip side inside, (c) is the figure which shows the mode when inserting the sample take-out part into the tip part of the sample holding groove, (d) is the (c) It is a figure which shows a mode when a sample taking-out part is inserted in a sample holding groove as shown in 3 and it slides in the groove | channel toward the holding part side.
The sample taking-out member 2 of the fourth embodiment has a sample taking-out portion 21 and a support portion 22.
The sample take-out part 21 is inserted while sliding in the sample holding groove 11a in the sample collection member (the sample collection member 1 shown in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 6) of each embodiment shown in FIGS. It is composed of a rod-shaped member having a possible diameter.
The support portion 22 is connected to the rear end 21a of the sample take-out portion 21, and is configured to support the sample take-out portion 21 and to be gripped by hand.

このように構成された第四実施形態の試料取り出し部材を用いて試料を取り出す操作方法について説明する。
例えば、図6(a)に示すように、支持部22を把持しながら、試料取り出し部21を、その長手方向が試料保持溝11aの底面11a3に対して略垂直となる向きにして、試料保持溝11aの側部における最も把持部12に近い側から挿し込む。すると、試料取り出し部21は、試料保持溝11aに摺接しながら内部に入る。このとき、試料保持溝11aの底面11a3における把持部12側の所定部位11a31は、開口に向かって連続する曲面形状に形成されている。このため、試料取り出し部21は、試料Eを試料保持溝11aの隅に残すことなくその先端側に押出す。次いで、図6(b)に示すように、試料保持溝11aの中をその先端側に向けて試料取り出し部21を摺動させる。このとき、試料保持溝11aの開口は、試料採取部11の側方から先端にかけて続いている。このため、試料Eは、試料取り出し部21を介して、試料保持溝11aに殆ど残ることなく試料保持溝11aの先端及び先端近傍の側部から外部に押し出される。
An operation method for taking out a sample using the sample taking-out member of the fourth embodiment configured as described above will be described.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, while holding the support portion 22, the sample take-out portion 21 is set so that its longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface 11a 3 of the sample holding groove 11a. It inserts from the side nearest the holding part 12 in the side part of the holding groove 11a. Then, the sample take-out portion 21 enters the inside while being in sliding contact with the sample holding groove 11a. At this time, a predetermined portion 11a 31 of the grip portion 12 side in the bottom surface 11a 3 of the sample-holding groove 11a is formed in a curved shape continuously extending toward the opening. For this reason, the sample take-out unit 21 pushes the sample E to the tip side without leaving the sample E in the corner of the sample holding groove 11a. Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the sample take-out portion 21 is slid toward the tip side in the sample holding groove 11a. At this time, the opening of the sample holding groove 11a continues from the side of the sample collection unit 11 to the tip. For this reason, the sample E is pushed out from the front end of the sample holding groove 11a and the side portion in the vicinity of the front end through the sample take-out portion 21 with hardly remaining in the sample holding groove 11a.

また、例えば、図6(c)に示すように、試料取り出し部21を、その長手方向が試料保持溝11aの底面11a3に対して略垂直となる向きにして、試料保持溝11aの先端に挿入する。このとき、試料保持溝11aの開口は、試料採取部11の側方から先端にかけて続いている。このため、試料取り出し部21は、試料保持溝11aに摺接しながらその先端より内部に入る。次いで、図6(d)に示すように、試料保持溝11aの中を把持部12側に向けて試料取り出し部21を摺動させる。このとき、試料保持溝11aの底面11a3における把持部12側の所定部位11a31は、開口に向かって連続する曲面形状に形成されている。このため、試料Eは、試料取り出し部21を介して、試料保持溝11aの隅に殆ど残ることなく把持部12近傍から外部に押し出される。
このように、第四実施形態の試料取り出し部材2によれば、試料保持溝11aに保持された略全ての試料Eを取り出すことができる。
For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the sample take-out portion 21 is placed at the tip of the sample holding groove 11a so that its longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface 11a 3 of the sample holding groove 11a. insert. At this time, the opening of the sample holding groove 11a continues from the side of the sample collection unit 11 to the tip. For this reason, the sample take-out portion 21 enters the inside from the tip while slidingly contacting the sample holding groove 11a. Next, as shown in FIG. 6D, the sample take-out portion 21 is slid toward the grip portion 12 in the sample holding groove 11a. At this time, a predetermined portion 11a 31 of the grip portion 12 side in the bottom surface 11a 3 of the sample-holding groove 11a is formed in a curved shape continuously extending toward the opening. For this reason, the sample E is pushed out from the vicinity of the grip portion 12 through the sample take-out portion 21 with almost no remaining in the corner of the sample holding groove 11a.
Thus, according to the sample taking-out member 2 of the fourth embodiment, almost all the samples E held in the sample holding groove 11a can be taken out.

第八実施形態の試料採取キットを用いて試料を採取し処理する場合について説明する。
試料採取を行う者には図10(c)の状態で試料採取キットが提供されるので、試料採取を行う者は、蓋13d”’を開け、試料採取部材1”’の試料採取部11”’を取り出す。そして、図3に示した第一実施形態の試料採取部材1と同様の方法で、試料採取部11”’の試料保持溝11a”’に試料Eを採取する。
次に、図12(a)に示すように、試料Eを採取した試料採取部11”’を、図10(b)の状態となっている試料取り出し部材2””及び試料採取部収容容器13”’へ、試料採取部収容容器接続部24””の上端部側から入れ、試料採取部収容容器接続部24””の開口24b11””(及びガイド部24b111””)を通過させて試料採取部収容容器13”’の内部に収容する。このとき、試料保持溝11a”’の外部に付着した余分な試料Eは、開口24b11””を介して摺り切られる。試料採取部収容容器接続部24””の開口24b11””(及びガイド部24b111””)を通過した試料採取部11”’は、この通過部並びにガイド部23””を介して試料取り出し部21””が試料Eを取り出すことができる位置に案内される。そして、試料保持溝11a”’の内部に保持された試料Eは、試料取り出し部材2””の試料取り出し部21””を介して、試料採取部収容容器13””の内部に充填されている処理溶液15の中に取り出される。
次に、蓋13d”’の螺子131”’を螺子24c””と螺合させることによって、試料採取部収容容器接続部24””の上端部を閉じる。これにより、試料採取部材1”’が試料採取部収容容器13”’の内部で試料取り出し部材2””を介して試料Eを処理溶液15中に取り出された状態で密閉される(図12(b))。
その状態で、試料採取部収容容器13”’を振ると、攪拌部材16が試料採取部収容容器13”’の内部を自由に飛び跳ねる。これにより、試料Eが処理溶液15と攪拌させられる。
A case where a sample is collected and processed using the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment will be described.
Since the sample collection kit is provided to the person who collects the sample in the state of FIG. 10 (c), the person who collects the sample opens the lid 13d ″ ′ and samples the sample collection unit 11 ″ of the sample collection member 1 ″ ′. Then, the sample E is collected in the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ of the sample collecting portion 11 ″ ′ by the same method as the sample collecting member 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.
Next, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the sample collecting part 11 ″ ′ that has collected the sample E is used as the sample take-out member 2 ″ ″ and the sample collecting part storage container 13 in the state shown in FIG. 10 (b). "'" Is inserted from the upper end side of the sample collecting part receiving container connecting part 24 "" and passed through the opening 24b 11 "" (and the guide part 24b 111 "") of the sample collecting part containing container connecting part 24 "". The sample E is accommodated inside the sample collection container 13 ″ ′. At this time, the excess sample E adhering to the outside of the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ is slid through the opening 24b 11 ″ ″. Sampling portion container connection portion 24 "" of the opening 24b 11 "" (and the guide portion 24b 111 "") sampling portion 11 that has passed through the "'retrieves sample through the passage portion and the guide portion 23"" The portion 21 "" is guided to a position where the sample E can be taken out. The sample E held in the sample holding groove 11a "'moves the sample taking-out portion 21""of the sample taking-out member 2"". Then, the sample is taken out into the processing solution 15 filled in the inside of the sample collection unit storage container 13 "".
Next, the screw 13 1 ″ ′ of the lid 13 d ″ ′ is screwed with the screw 24 c ″ ″ to close the upper end of the sample-collecting-unit receiving container connecting portion 24 ″ ″. As a result, the sample collecting member 1 ″ ′ is sealed in a state in which the sample E is taken out into the processing solution 15 through the sample taking-out member 2 ″ ″ inside the sample collecting portion containing container 13 ″ ′ (FIG. 12 ( b)).
In this state, when the sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′ is shaken, the stirring member 16 jumps freely inside the sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′. Thereby, the sample E is agitated with the treatment solution 15.

従って、第八実施形態の試料採取キットによれば、試料を採取した試料採取部11”’を試料取り出し部材2””が組み込まれた試料採取部収容容器13”’に入れるだけで、簡単に処理溶液15の中に一定量の試料Eを取り出して処理することができる。   Therefore, according to the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment, simply by putting the sample collection unit 11 ″ ′ collecting the sample into the sample collection unit containing container 13 ″ ′ in which the sample extraction member 2 ″ ″ is incorporated, A certain amount of sample E can be taken out of the processing solution 15 and processed.

また、試料Eは角部11b”’で削り取ったり、切り取って変形させたりしながら試料保持溝に採取している。このため、試料Eは角部11b”’によって一旦ほぐされており、分散されやすくなっているが、第八実施形態の試料採取キットによれば、さらに攪拌部材16を備えたので、処理溶液15を介した試料Eの処理時間を短縮することができ、試料Eがすばやく処理溶液へ分散させられるので、試料Eに処理溶液を効率よく作用させることができる。
さらに、第八実施形態の試料採取キットによれば、試料採取部収容容器13”’に処理溶液15の必要充填量を示す目盛13h”’を設けたので、採取容量の異なる試料保持溝が設けられた複数種類の試料採取部を試料採取部収容容器13”’にセットすることができるように構成した場合や試料採取部11”’を試料採取部収容容器13”’に収容後に処理溶液を入れる場合などにおいて、所定の試料採取部を用いて試料を採取したときに、その採取量に応じた必要量の処理溶液を、別途計量手段で計量することなく、試料採取部収容容器13”’に充填することができる。
The sample E is sampled in the sample holding groove while being cut off or cut and deformed at the corner portion 11b "'. For this reason, the sample E is once loosened by the corner portion 11b"' and dispersed. Although it is easy, according to the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment, since the stirring member 16 is further provided, the processing time of the sample E through the processing solution 15 can be shortened, and the sample E can be processed quickly. Since it is dispersed in the solution, the treatment solution can be efficiently applied to the sample E.
Furthermore, according to the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment, since the scale 13h ″ ′ indicating the required filling amount of the processing solution 15 is provided in the sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′, sample holding grooves having different collection capacities are provided. When a plurality of types of sample collection units are configured to be set in the sample collection unit storage container 13 "', or after the sample collection unit 11"' is stored in the sample collection unit storage container 13 "' When a sample is collected using a predetermined sample collection unit, for example, when the sample is collected using a predetermined sample collection unit, the sample collection unit storage container 13 ''' Can be filled.

または、目盛13hの位置を所定量の容量の試料Eが採取できた場合に、処理溶液15の液面が上昇する位置に設けておいてもよい。この場合には、例えば試料保持溝11a”’を満たすだけの試料Eが採られていなかったとき、所定量の試料Eを採取できていないので処理溶液15の液面が目盛13hより下方に位置する。そして、試料採取を行う者や処理溶液をその後の検査に使う者が、所定量の試料Eが採取できているかどうか溶液量を見ただけで知ることができる。採取時であれば、液面が目盛13hより上方に位置するまで繰り返し採取を行えば良い。試料採取部材1”’の試料採取部11”’を試料取り出し部材2””が組み込まれた試料採取部収容容器13”’に入れると、試料Eは試料取り出し部材2””を介して処理溶液中に取り出されるので、試料採取部11”’の試料保持溝11a”’の内部に空間ができる。このため、試料採取部11”’を取り出すだけで再び試料採取部11”’で試料を採取することができるようになる。液面が、目盛13hより上方に位置するまで、つまり所定量の試料が採取できるまで繰り返し採取を行えば良い。   Alternatively, the scale 13h may be provided at a position where the liquid level of the processing solution 15 rises when a predetermined amount of the sample E can be collected. In this case, for example, when the sample E sufficient to fill the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ has not been collected, a predetermined amount of the sample E has not been collected, so that the liquid level of the processing solution 15 is positioned below the scale 13h. Then, the person who collects the sample and the person who uses the processing solution for the subsequent inspection can know whether or not the predetermined amount of the sample E has been collected by just looking at the amount of the solution. The collection may be repeated until the liquid level is located above the scale 13h. The sample collection unit storage container 13 "'in which the sample collection unit 11"' of the sample collection member 1 "'is incorporated with the sample removal member 2" ". Since the sample E is taken out into the processing solution via the sample take-out member 2 ″ ″, a space is created inside the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ of the sample collecting portion 11 ″ ′. Therefore, the sample can be collected again by the sample collection unit 11 ″ only by taking out the sample collection unit 11 ″ ′. The collection may be repeated until the liquid level is positioned above the scale 13h, that is, until a predetermined amount of sample can be collected.

試料採取部材1”’の試料採取部11”’が試料採取部収容容器13”’に入っているとき、試料取り出し部21””は、先端21b””が試料採取部11”’の試料保持溝11a”’の開口11b”’側にあるが、試料取り出し部21””は後端21a””と支持部22””との接続部を中心として、試料採取部11”’が接するガイド部23””から離れる方向に弾性変形している。このため、試料採取部11”’を試料採取部収容容器13”’から取り出すと、試料取り出し部21””の先端21b””は、試料採取部11”’の把持部側の所定部位11a31”’の曲面に沿って試料保持溝11a”’の中に入り込み、今度は試料保持溝11a”’の中にわずかに残っていた試料Eをかき出し、取り出した試料採取部11”’の試料保持溝11a”’の中の空間がさらに確保されやすくなる。
なお、処理溶液15の量を試料採取部11”’の把持部側の所定部位11a31”’付近より下面に設定した場合、試料採取部11”’を試料採取部収容容器13”’から取り出すと、同様に試料取り出し部21””が試料採取部11”’の試料保持溝11a”’の中に入り込み、処理溶液15もかき出す。これにより、試料保持溝11a”’の中に処理溶液15や試料の懸濁液が残りにくくなり、試料採取部11”’を取り出したときに、残った溶液で周囲を汚染しにくくなる。また、試料保持溝11a”’の内部に空間も確保できる。
When the sample collection part 11 "'of the sample collection member 1"' is in the sample collection part accommodating container 13 "', the sample take-out part 21""has the tip 21b""of the sample collection part 11"' holding the sample. Although located on the opening 11b ″ ′ side of the groove 11a ″ ′, the sample take-out portion 21 ″ ″ is a guide portion with which the sample collection portion 11 ″ ′ contacts with the connection portion between the rear end 21a ″ ″ and the support portion 22 ″ ″ as the center. Therefore, when the sample collection part 11 "'is taken out from the sample collection part receiving container 13"', the tip 21b "" of the sample take-out part 21 "" is sampled. The sample E enters the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ along the curved surface of the predetermined portion 11a 31 ″ ′ on the gripping part side of the portion 11 ″ ′, and this time the sample E slightly remaining in the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ In the sample holding groove 11a "'of the sample collection part 11"' scraped out and taken out Space is more easily secured.
When the amount of the processing solution 15 is set on the lower surface from the vicinity of the predetermined part 11a 31 ″ ′ on the gripping part side of the sample collecting part 11 ″ ′, the sample collecting part 11 ″ ′ is taken out from the sample collecting part storage container 13 ″ ′. Similarly, the sample take-out part 21 ″ ″ enters the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ of the sample collection part 11 ″ ′, and the processing solution 15 is also scraped out. As a result, the processing solution 15 and the sample suspension are less likely to remain in the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′, and when the sample collection unit 11 ″ ′ is taken out, the surroundings are less likely to be contaminated. Further, a space can be secured inside the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′.

また、第八実施形態の試料採取キットでは、試料取り出し部材2””の支持部22””に処理溶液15が通過可能な穴、例えばメッシュ状の孔を設けたので、試料採取部収容容器13”’に処理溶液15を充填後に試料取り出し部材2””を試料採取部収容容器13”’の中に組み込んでも、処理溶液15が筒状に形成されたガイド部23””の内部に入ってくるので、試料採取部11”’で採取した試料Eを試料取り出し部材2””を介して処理溶液15の中に取り出すことができる。
または、第八実施形態の試料採取キットを検査のため回収した後、試料採取部収容容器13”’を振り、攪拌部材16で試料Eと処理溶液15と攪拌し、試料取り出し部材2””と試料採取部収容容器13”’との螺合部、螺子24a””と螺子13g”’を緩めて試料取り出し部材2””を試料採取部収容容器13”’から外すと、試料取り出し部材2””の支持部22””に処理溶液15が通過可能な穴、例えばメッシュ状の孔が設けてあるので、攪拌部材16が処理溶液15に入り込まないようにして、その後の検査に不要な試料採取部材1”’、試料取り出し部材2””を、試料Eが分散した処理溶液15を試料採取部収容容器13”’中に残しながら、取り除くことができる。試料採取部収容容器13”’は別途、螺子13g”’に螺合できる蓋をして、試料Eが分散した処理溶液15中から検査対象物を沈殿させるために例えば遠心分離機にかけて、処理溶液を交換したり、沈殿物を吸引して別の容器に移したりすることができる。
Further, in the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment, since the support portion 22 "" of the sample take-out member 2 "" is provided with a hole through which the processing solution 15 can pass, for example, a mesh-shaped hole, the sample collection portion storage container 13 is provided. Even if the sample take-out member 2 "" is incorporated into the sample collecting portion receiving container 13 "'after the treatment solution 15 is filled in"", the treatment solution 15 enters the cylindrical guide portion 23"". Therefore, the sample E collected by the sample collecting unit 11 ″ ′ can be taken out into the processing solution 15 via the sample taking-out member 2 ″ ″.
Alternatively, after the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment is collected for inspection, the sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′ is shaken, the sample E and the processing solution 15 are stirred by the stirring member 16, and the sample removal member 2 ″ ″ When the sample extraction member 2 "" is removed from the sample collection part storage container 13 "'by loosening the screw 24a""and the screw 13g"' and the screw connection part with the sample collection part storage container 13 "', the sample extraction member 2" Since the "supporting portion 22""is provided with a hole through which the processing solution 15 can pass, for example, a mesh-shaped hole, the stirring member 16 is prevented from entering the processing solution 15 and a sample unnecessary for subsequent inspection is collected. The member 1 ″ ′ and the sample take-out member 2 ″ ″ can be removed while leaving the processing solution 15 in which the sample E is dispersed in the sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′. The sample collection unit storage container 13 ″ ′ is separately covered with a screw 13g ″ ′, and is subjected to, for example, a centrifuge to precipitate the test object from the processing solution 15 in which the sample E is dispersed. Can be exchanged or the precipitate can be aspirated and transferred to another container.

なお、第八実施形態の試料採取キットにおいては、試料保持溝11a”’を、例えば、図2(c)、図2(e)、図2(f)、図2(g)、図2(h)、図2(i)に示すように構成するとともに、開口24b11””を、試料採取部11”’における試料保持溝11a”’の外部に付着した試料Eを摺り切ることができるように、試料採取部11”’が摺接しながら通り抜け可能な大きさ及び形状に形成すると、なおよい。
このようにすれば、開口24b11””が回転対象な形状にはならないので、試料保持溝11a”’及び開口24b11””が、収容方向規制手段として機能し、試料採取部11”’を試料採取部収容容器13”’に収容するときの向きを規制する。その結果、試料取り出し部材2””の試料取り出し部21””及びガイド部23””に摺接される試料採取部11”’の向きが逆向きになるのを防止することができる。
その他の、試料採取部材1”’、試料取り出し部材2””の作用及び効果は、第一実施形態の試料採取部材1、第六実施形態の試料取り出し部材2”の作用及び効果と略同様である。
In the sample collection kit of the eighth embodiment, the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ is formed in, for example, FIG. 2 (c), FIG. 2 (e), FIG. 2 (f), FIG. 2 (g), FIG. h), as shown in FIG. 2 (i), and the opening 24b 11 ″ ″ can be used to scrape the sample E adhering to the outside of the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ in the sample collecting portion 11 ″ ′. In addition, it is more preferable that the sample collection part 11 ″ ′ be formed in a size and shape that can pass through while sliding.
In this way, since the opening 24b 11 ″ ″ does not have a shape to be rotated, the sample holding groove 11a ″ ′ and the opening 24b 11 ″ ″ function as the accommodation direction regulating means, and the sample collecting unit 11 ″ ′ The direction when the sample is collected in the sample collection unit accommodating container 13 ″ ′ is regulated. As a result, the sample collection unit 11 ″ that is in sliding contact with the sample extraction unit 21 ″ ″ and the guide unit 23 ″ ″ of the sample extraction member 2 ″ ″. It is possible to prevent the direction of 'from being reversed.
The other operations and effects of the sample collection member 1 "'and the sample extraction member 2""are substantially the same as the operations and effects of the sample collection member 1 of the first embodiment and the sample extraction member 2" of the sixth embodiment. is there.
