Description

本願発明は、患者の鼻、咽頭、結膜、尿道、子宮、膣、糞便、尿、喀痰等を検体採取治具で採取した検体の処理方法および検査用キットに関し、詳しくは、衛生上の見地から取り扱い者に触れることなく処理することが望ましい検体を効率よく取り扱い、処理する検査用キットに関する。
特に、免疫測定法試薬に供するための被検試料を調製するのに好適な検査用キットに関する。 The present invention relates to a sample processing method and a test kit obtained by collecting a patient's nose, pharynx, conjunctiva, urethra, uterus, vagina, feces, urine, sputum, etc. with a sample collection jig. The present invention relates to a test kit for efficiently handling and processing a specimen that is desired to be processed without touching a handler.
In particular, the present invention relates to a test kit suitable for preparing a test sample for use in an immunoassay reagent.

免疫測定法用の被験試料は、被疑患者の涙液、眼脂、喀痰、唾液、便などの生体試料や患部を清拭したガーゼ、綿棒などを予め試験容器に入れておいた抽出液に浸漬して検体を分散又は溶解して抽出液として調製される。   The test sample for immunoassay is immersed in an extract previously placed in a test container with biological samples such as tear fluid, eyelids, sputum, saliva, stool, gauze, cotton swabs, etc. The sample is then dispersed or dissolved to prepare an extract.

ところで、衛生上の見地から取り扱い者に触れることなく処理することが望ましい検体について所定の検査を行うための検査用キットとして、従来は、例えば、図９，図１０，図１１(ａ)，(ｂ)に示すような便中の毒素検査のための検査用キットが用いられている。   By the way, as a test kit for performing a predetermined test on a specimen that is desired to be processed without touching the handler from a hygienic viewpoint, conventionally, for example, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11 (a), ( Test kits for testing stool toxins as shown in b) are used.

この検査用キットは、図９，図１０，図１１(ａ)，(ｂ)に示すように、検体を収容し、希釈液で希釈するための容器として機能するとともに、一方側の蓋（すなわち、下記のフィルタ側の蓋）としても機能するキャップ・容器５１と、一端側のフィルタ保持部５５ａには検体を希釈液で薄めた希釈混合液５２をろ過するためのフィルタ５３が配設され、他端側にはフィルタ５３によりろ過された希釈混合液５２を滴下するためのノズル部５４が設けられた滴下用チューブ５５と、滴下用チューブ５５のノズル部５４側の蓋として機能するノズル側キャップ５６とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11 (a), (b), this test kit functions as a container for containing a sample and diluting with a diluent, and also has a lid on one side (ie, A filter 53 for filtering the diluted mixed solution 52 obtained by diluting the specimen with the diluent, is disposed in the cap / container 51 that also functions as a filter-side lid (described below) and the filter holding portion 55a on the one end side. On the other end side, a dropping tube 55 provided with a nozzle portion 54 for dropping the diluted mixed solution 52 filtered by the filter 53, and a nozzle side cap that functions as a lid on the nozzle portion 54 side of the dropping tube 55 56.

そして、この検査用キットを使用するにあたっては、図１０に示すように、キャップ・容器５１に検体を希釈液で薄めた希釈混合液５２が収容された状態で、図１１(ａ)に示すように、滴下用チューブ５５のフィルタ５３が配設された側をキャップ・容器５１の開口部に挿入し、さらに、図１１(ｂ)に示すように、滴下用チューブ５５をいっぱいにまで押し込んで、希釈混合液５２を、フィルタ５３を通過させることによりろ過して、滴下用チューブ５５内に充填する。   When using this test kit, as shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the cap / container 51 contains the diluted mixed solution 52 in which the specimen is diluted with the diluted solution. In addition, the side of the dropping tube 55 on which the filter 53 is disposed is inserted into the opening of the cap / container 51, and further, as shown in FIG. The diluted mixed solution 52 is filtered by passing through the filter 53 and filled in the dropping tube 55.

その後、図１２に示すように、滴下用チューブ５５の胴体部分５５ｂを指で押して撓ませる（たわませる）ことにより、滴下用チューブ５５内のろ過された希釈混合液５２を、試験液を含浸させたプレート６１上に滴下して、毒素の有無（あるいは多少）を検査する。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12, the body portion 55 b of the dropping tube 55 is pressed with a finger to bend (bend), so that the filtered diluted mixed solution 52 in the dropping tube 55 is impregnated with the test solution. It is dropped on the plate 61 and the presence or absence (or some) of the toxin is inspected.

上述のようにして検査用キットを用いることにより、便中の毒素検査を効率よく行うことが可能になる。   By using the test kit as described above, the fecal toxin test can be performed efficiently.

しかしながら、上記従来の検査用キットの場合、滴下用チューブ５５のノズル部５４が封止されていないため、検査用キットを振ったり、横向きにしたりすると内部の希釈混合液５２が漏れ出すおそれがあるため、希釈混合液５２を十分に混合しにくく、抽出効率が低下して検査に支障をきたしたり、衛生上の問題を生じたりするおそれがある。   However, in the case of the conventional inspection kit, since the nozzle portion 54 of the dropping tube 55 is not sealed, the internal diluted mixed liquid 52 may leak out if the inspection kit is shaken or turned sideways. For this reason, it is difficult to sufficiently mix the diluted mixed liquid 52, and the extraction efficiency may be lowered, which may hinder the inspection and may cause a problem on hygiene.

また、その他の従来の検体収容用容器として、図１３に示すように、インフルエンザウィルスを含む希釈検体７１を入れる容器本体７２と、希釈検体７１を濾過して検査デバイス上に供給できるようにするためのフィルタ７３と、フィルタ７３を通過した希釈検体７１を通過させて、テストデバイス７５に供給するノズル７４とを備えた検体収容用容器７６が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。   Further, as other conventional specimen storage containers, as shown in FIG. 13, a container main body 72 for storing a diluted specimen 71 containing influenza virus, and the diluted specimen 71 can be filtered and supplied onto a test device. A specimen storage container 76 including a filter 73 and a nozzle 74 that passes the diluted specimen 71 that has passed through the filter 73 and supplies the diluted specimen 71 to the test device 75 has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

しかし、この特許文献１の検体収容用容器７６の場合も、ノズル７４が封止されていないため、検体収容用容器７６を振ったり、横向きにしたりすると内部の希釈検体７１が漏れ出すおそれがあり、衛生上好ましくないという問題点がある。   However, even in the case of the specimen storage container 76 of Patent Document 1, since the nozzle 74 is not sealed, the diluted specimen 71 inside may leak out if the specimen storage container 76 is shaken or turned sideways. There is a problem that it is not preferable in terms of hygiene.

また、感染力の強いウイルスや微生物が検体に含まれる場合、上記のような被験試料の調製方法では、使用済みの綿棒や抽出液の廃棄管理を適正に行わないと、院内感染などの二次的な感染拡大を招くおそれがある。
国際公開第２００４／０８１５６８号パンフレット In addition, if the specimen contains highly infectious virus or microorganism, the test sample preparation method as described above may require secondary disposal such as nosocomial infections unless proper disposal management of used swabs and extracts is performed. May cause general infection spread.
International Publication No. 2004/081568 Pamphlet

さらに、本願発明においては、検体採取治具として、上述のような綿棒に限らず、一端側にブラシなど、検体を採取し、保持することが可能な検体採取部を備えた種々の構成の物を用いることが可能である。 In this embodiment, a cotton swab provided with a cotton ball, which is the sample collection unit 1, on one end side is used as the sample collection jig 2 for collecting a sample.
In addition, as a cotton swab, you may use what formed the cotton ball by flocking synthetic fiber.
Furthermore, in the present invention, the specimen collecting jig is not limited to the above-described cotton swab, but has various configurations including a specimen collecting section capable of collecting and holding a specimen such as a brush on one end side. Can be used.

また、この実施例では、検体採取治具２を除いて、検査用キットを構成する各構成部材は、透明または半透明で、かつ可撓性を備えた材料（この実施例では低密度ポリエチレン）から形成されており、内容物の量を目視で確認することができるとともに、貫通孔１１（図６(ｂ)，(ｃ)参照）を形成した後に、容器本体６を押圧して変形させる（例えば、容器本体６の胴部を軽く押さえる）ことにより、抽出液８を、開封治具１４の液通路１３の先端の取り出し口１８から滴下させて供給することができるように構成されている。   Further, in this embodiment, except for the specimen collecting jig 2, each constituent member constituting the test kit is a transparent or translucent material having flexibility (in this embodiment, low density polyethylene). The amount of the contents can be visually confirmed, and after forming the through hole 11 (see FIGS. 6B and 6C), the container body 6 is pressed and deformed ( For example, the extraction liquid 8 can be dripped and supplied from the outlet 18 at the tip of the liquid passage 13 of the opening jig 14 by lightly pressing the body of the container body 6.

また、容器本体６の開口部３と、容器本体６とにより形成される密閉空間内に封止する抽出液封止蓋７ａ（検体を抽出液８に移行させる前の段階で用いる開口部封止蓋７）にはネジが形成されており、両者が互いに螺合して、開口部３が抽出液封止蓋７ａにより封止されるように構成されている。   In addition, an extraction liquid sealing lid 7a for sealing in a sealed space formed by the opening 3 of the container main body 6 and the container main body 6 (opening sealing used in a stage before the specimen is transferred to the extraction liquid 8). Screws are formed on the lid 7), and both are screwed together so that the opening 3 is sealed by the extract liquid sealing lid 7a.

また、容器本体６の開口部３を封止する検体採取治具収容機能付き封止蓋７ｂ（検体を抽出液８に移行させた後の段階で用いる開口部封止蓋７）にもネジが形成されており、両者が互いに螺合して、開口部３が検体採取治具収容機能付き封止蓋７ｂにより封止されるように構成されている。   Further, a screw is also provided on the sealing lid 7b with a specimen collecting jig accommodating function (the opening sealing lid 7 used in a stage after the specimen is transferred to the extract 8) that seals the opening 3 of the container body 6. It is formed, both are screwed together, and the opening 3 is configured to be sealed by a sealing lid 7b with a specimen collecting jig housing function.

また、この実施例の検査用キットＡにおいては、容器本体６の底部５が、容器本体６の下端から後退した位置に、上げ底状に配設されている。そして、開封治具１４は、容器本体６の底部５より下側の、内周側スペースである開封治具収容領域１６に、容器本体６の内周面と密着するようにはまり込む筒状部１７と、筒状部１７の一端側に配設された貫通孔形成用尖端部１２と、筒状部１７の内側部分と連通し、その端部が抽出液８の取り出し口１８として機能し、かつ、液通路を封止するための液通路封止蓋１５が取り付けられる封止蓋取り付け部として機能する、筒状部の内側部分ととともに液通路１３を構成する液取出用流路１９とを備えている。そして、この開封治具１４を開封治具収容領域１６に押し込むことにより、開封治具１４と容器本体６の間が密封されるとともに、容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４に貫通孔１１が形成されるように構成されている。   Further, in the inspection kit A of this embodiment, the bottom 5 of the container body 6 is arranged in a raised bottom at a position retracted from the lower end of the container body 6. The opening jig 14 is a cylindrical part that fits into the opening jig housing area 16 that is an inner circumferential space below the bottom part 5 of the container body 6 so as to be in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the container body 6. 17, the through hole forming point 12 disposed on one end side of the cylindrical portion 17, and the inner portion of the cylindrical portion 17, and the end portion functions as an extraction port 18 for the extract 8, And the liquid extraction flow path 19 that constitutes the liquid passage 13 together with the inner portion of the cylindrical portion that functions as a sealing lid attachment portion to which the liquid passage sealing lid 15 for sealing the liquid passage is attached. I have. Then, by pushing the opening jig 14 into the opening jig housing region 16, the gap between the opening jig 14 and the container body 6 is sealed, and the through-hole 11 is formed in the thin film portion 4 of the bottom 5 of the container body 6. Is formed.

これにより、開封治具１４を容器本体６の開封治具収容領域１６に押し込むことにより、容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４に貫通孔１１を形成するとともに、開封治具１４と容器本体６の間を密封することが可能になり、抽出液８を他の部分から漏出させることなく、液取出用流路１９のみから抽出液８を確実に取り出すことが可能になる。   As a result, the opening jig 14 is pushed into the opening jig housing region 16 of the container body 6 to form the through-hole 11 in the thin film-like portion 4 of the bottom 5 of the container body 6, and the opening jig 14 and the container body 6 can be sealed, and the extract 8 can be reliably taken out only from the liquid extraction channel 19 without causing the extract 8 to leak from other portions.

また、図２(ａ)、(ｂ)に示すように、開封治具１４の液通路１３には、抽出液８が検体に由来する固形物を含有している場合にも、抽出液８を濾過して、固形分が含まれていない状態で検査に供することができるように、固形物を濾過して除去するためのフィルタ２０が配設されている。
なお、フィルタ２０は、検体が抽出された抽出液の粘性を低下させる作用を果たす場合もある。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the extract 8 is also contained in the liquid passage 13 of the opening jig 14 even when the extract 8 contains a solid derived from the specimen. A filter 20 is provided for filtering and removing solid matter so that the solid matter can be filtered and used for inspection.
Note that the filter 20 may serve to reduce the viscosity of the extract from which the specimen is extracted.

また、開封治具１４の、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２には、容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４を貫通する貫通方向に略平行なスリット２１（図２(ｂ)、図６(ｃ)参照）が形成されている。これにより、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２により容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４を突き破って貫通孔１１を形成した場合に、容器本体６内の抽出液８を、スリット２１を経て外部に確実に取り出すことが可能になる。   Further, a slit 21 (FIG. 2 (b), FIG. 6 (FIG. 2B), FIG. c)) is formed. Thereby, when the through-hole 11 is formed by piercing the thin-film-like portion 4 of the bottom portion 5 of the container body 6 with the through-hole forming point 12, the extract 8 in the container body 6 is passed through the slit 21 to the outside. It becomes possible to take it out reliably.

また、容器本体６内の抽出液８を、より確実に外部に取り出しやすくするために、開封治具１４の、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２は、先端側の厚みの薄い部分１２ａと、基端側の厚みの厚い部分１２ｂとを備え、先端側の厚みの薄い部分１２ａと、基端側の厚みの厚い部分１２ｂとの間に段差部１２ｃが形成されている。このような構成とした場合、段差部１２ｃが容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４を押して変形を生じさせることから、貫通孔１１の近傍に隙間が形成されやすくなり、容器本体６内の抽出液８を、該隙間を経てより確実に外部に取り出しやすくなる。すなわち、先端側の厚みの薄い部分１２ａにより底部５の薄膜部分４を突き破るとともに、段差部１２ｃにより、この突き破られた薄膜部分４を確実に上方に押し上げて、貫通孔１１の近傍に抽出液８の通路を確実に形成することが可能になり、容器本体６内の抽出液８を該通路を経て確実に外部に取り出すことができる。   Further, in order to make it easier to take out the extract 8 in the container body 6 to the outside more reliably, the tip 12 for forming the through hole of the opening jig 14 includes a thin portion 12a on the distal end side and a proximal end. The step portion 12c is formed between the thin portion 12a on the distal end side and the thick portion 12b on the proximal end side. In the case of such a configuration, the stepped portion 12c pushes the thin film-like portion 4 of the bottom 5 of the container body 6 to cause deformation, so that a gap is easily formed in the vicinity of the through hole 11, and the inside of the container body 6 It becomes easier to take out the extract 8 through the gap more reliably. That is, the thin film portion 4 of the bottom portion 5 is pierced by the thin portion 12a on the tip side, and the ruptured thin film portion 4 is surely pushed upward by the step portion 12c so that the extraction liquid is placed in the vicinity of the through hole 11. 8 can be reliably formed, and the extract 8 in the container body 6 can be reliably taken out through the passage.

次に、上記検査用キットの使用方法、すなわち、検査用キットを用いて検体を処理し、インフルエンザウィルスの検査を行う方法について説明する。   Next, a method for using the above-described test kit, that is, a method for processing a specimen using the test kit and testing for influenza virus will be described.

(１)まず、一端側に、検体を採取すべき検体採取部１を備えた検体採取治具２により検体（例えばのどの粘膜など）を採取する。   (1) First, a sample (for example, a mucous membrane of the throat) is collected on one end side by a sample collecting jig 2 provided with a sample collecting unit 1 to collect a sample.

(２)薄膜状部分４を有する底部５を備えた容器本体６の開口部３から抽出液封止蓋７ａを取り外し、図３に示すように、容器本体６に収容された抽出液８に、検体採取治具２の検体採取部１を浸漬して、採取された検体を抽出液８に移行させる。   (2) The extract-sealed lid 7a is removed from the opening 3 of the container body 6 having the bottom 5 having the thin film-like portion 4, and the extract 8 contained in the container body 6 as shown in FIG. The sample collection part 1 of the sample collection jig 2 is immersed, and the collected sample is transferred to the extract 8.

(３)それから、図４に示すように、容器本体６の開口部３を検体採取治具収容機能付き封止蓋７ｂにより封止して、検体採取治具２を抽出液８とともに、容器本体６と検体採取治具収容機能付き封止蓋７ｂにより形成される密閉空間９に封止する。
この状態で抽出液８は密閉空間９内に密封された状態となるので、全体を揺動させたり、振盪したりして、検体と抽出液とを十分に混合することが可能になる。 (3) Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the opening 3 of the container body 6 is sealed with a sealing lid 7 b having a specimen collection jig housing function, and the specimen collection jig 2 is extracted together with the extract 8 together with the container body. 6 and a sealed space 9 formed by a sealing lid 7b with a specimen collecting jig accommodating function.
In this state, the extract 8 is sealed in the sealed space 9, so that the sample and the extract can be sufficiently mixed by rocking or shaking the whole.

また、本発明においては、容器本体６の、底部５を備えた他端側領域付近３１（図４）の側壁部分は、開口部３が設けられた一端側領域付近３２（図４）の側壁部分よりも柔軟に構成されていることが望ましい。
具体的には、容器本体６の、底部５を備えた他端側領域付近３１の側壁部分に、指で押さえることにより変形させることが可能で、押圧力を取り除くと、元の形状に復元する程度の柔軟性を持たせることが好ましい。
このように、容器本体６の、底部５を備えた他端側領域付近３１の側壁部分を、開口部３が設けられた一端側領域付近３２の側壁部分よりも柔軟にする方法としては、例えば、上記他端側領域付近３１の側壁部分の肉厚を、上記一端側領域付近３２の側壁部分の肉厚よりも薄くする方法などが例示される。
このようにした場合、他端側領域付近３１の側壁部分を押圧して検体採取治具２の検体採取部１を揉み、抽出液８と検体採取部１とを十分に馴染ませて抽出効率を向上させることが可能になり好ましい。また、抽出液８を容器本体６から排出する際には、上記他端側領域付近３１の側壁部分を押圧することにより、抽出液８を迅速に排出させることが可能になり好都合である。 Moreover, in this invention, the side wall part 31 (FIG. 4) vicinity of the other end side area | region 31 (FIG. 4) provided with the bottom part 5 of the container main body 6 is a side wall vicinity 32 (FIG. 4) of the one end side area | region provided with the opening part 3. It is desirable to be more flexible than the part.
Specifically, the side wall of the container body 6 near the other end side region 31 provided with the bottom 5 can be deformed by pressing with a finger, and when the pressing force is removed, the original shape is restored. It is preferable to have a degree of flexibility.
As described above, as a method of making the side wall portion near the other end side region 31 provided with the bottom 5 of the container body 6 more flexible than the side wall portion near the one end side region 32 provided with the opening 3, for example, A method of making the thickness of the side wall portion near the other end side region 31 thinner than the thickness of the side wall portion near the one end side region 32 is exemplified.
In this case, the side wall portion near the other end side region 31 is pressed to squeeze the sample collecting part 1 of the sample collecting jig 2, and the extraction liquid 8 and the sample collecting part 1 are sufficiently adapted to increase the extraction efficiency. It becomes possible to improve and is preferable. Further, when the extract 8 is discharged from the container body 6, it is convenient to quickly discharge the extract 8 by pressing the side wall portion near the other end side region 31.

(４)次に、図５、図６(ａ)，(ｂ)，(ｃ)に示すように、容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４に、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２を備えた開封治具１４を、液通路封止蓋１５が取り付けられた状態で容器本体６の底部５の内周側に嵌合させ、さらに、底部５に向かって押し込み、開封治具１４の貫通孔形成用尖端部１２により、底部５の薄膜状部分４に、抽出液８を通過させる貫通孔１１を形成する。
このとき、液通路封止蓋１５が取り付けられているので、貫通孔１１が形成されても抽出液８が外部に漏出することはない。 (4) Next, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 (a), 6 (b), (c), the thin film-like portion 4 of the bottom 5 of the container body 6 is provided with a through-hole forming point 12. The opening jig 14 is fitted to the inner peripheral side of the bottom portion 5 of the container body 6 with the liquid passage sealing lid 15 attached, and further pushed into the bottom portion 5 to form a through hole of the opening jig 14. A through-hole 11 through which the extract 8 passes is formed in the thin film-like portion 4 of the bottom 5 by the pointed end portion 12 for use.
At this time, since the liquid passage sealing lid 15 is attached, the extract 8 does not leak to the outside even if the through hole 11 is formed.

(５)その後、図７に示すように、液通路封止蓋１５を取り外し、容器本体６の薄膜状部分４に形成された貫通孔１１から、液通路を経て抽出液８の少なくとも一部を外部に取り出して検査に供する。   (5) Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the liquid passage sealing lid 15 is removed, and at least a part of the extract 8 is removed from the through hole 11 formed in the thin film-like portion 4 of the container body 6 through the liquid passage. Take it out for inspection.

このとき、開封治具１４の、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２に、薄膜状部分４を貫通する貫通方向に略平行なスリット２１および段差部１２ｃが形成されているので、貫通孔形成用尖端部１２により容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４を突き破って貫通孔１１を形成した場合に、図６(ｂ)，(ｃ)に示すように、段差部１２ｃが容器本体６の底部５の薄膜状部分４の貫通孔近傍に当接して、薄膜状部分４に変形を生じさせることから、貫通孔１１の近傍に、抽出液８が通過する隙間が形成されやすくなるとともに、スリット２１が抽出液８の流路となるため、抽出液８を外部に確実に取り出して、容易に検査に供することができる。   At this time, since the slit 21 and the step portion 12c that are substantially parallel to the penetration direction penetrating the thin film portion 4 are formed in the through-hole forming point 12 of the opening jig 14, the through-hole forming point 12, when the through-hole 11 is formed by breaking through the thin film-like portion 4 of the bottom 5 of the container body 6, the step 12 c is formed on the bottom 5 of the container body 6 as shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c). Since the thin film-like portion 4 is deformed by coming into contact with the vicinity of the through-hole of the thin film-like portion 4, a gap through which the extraction liquid 8 passes is easily formed in the vicinity of the through-hole 11 and the slit 21 is extracted. Since it becomes the flow path of the liquid 8, the extract 8 can be reliably taken out and can be used for inspection easily.

(６)そして、上述のように、抽出液８の取り出し後に、図８に示すように、液通路を、液通路封止蓋１５により封止して、抽出液８が外部に漏出しない状態で、検査キット全体を廃棄する（例えば、専用の廃棄用容器などに入れてまとめて廃棄する）ことが可能な状態とする。   (6) As described above, after the extraction liquid 8 is taken out, as shown in FIG. 8, the liquid passage is sealed with the liquid passage sealing lid 15 so that the extraction liquid 8 does not leak outside. The entire test kit can be discarded (for example, disposed in a dedicated disposal container or the like).

これにより、インフルエンザウィルスの検査などに用いられる検体のように、衛生上の見地から取り扱い者に触れたり、外部環境に露出することが望ましくないような検体を効率よく取り扱い、処理することが可能になる。   This makes it possible to efficiently handle and process specimens that are not desirable to touch the handler from a hygiene perspective or to be exposed to the external environment, such as specimens used for influenza virus testing. Become.

なお、上記実施例では、開口部封止蓋７として、抽出液封止蓋７ａ（検体を抽出液８に移行させる前の段階で用いる開口部封止蓋７）と、検体採取治具収容機能付き封止蓋７ｂ（検体を抽出液８に移行させた後の段階で用いる開口部封止蓋７）とを備えた検査用キットを例にとって説明したが、場合によっては、開口部封止蓋７として、検体を抽出液８に移行させる前と後の、両方の段階で１つの開口部封止蓋７（すなわち、抽出液を封止する機能と、検体採取治具を収容する機能の両方の機能を備えた開口部封止蓋）を用い、部品点数を減らすように構成することも可能である。   In the above embodiment, as the opening sealing lid 7, the extraction liquid sealing lid 7a (the opening sealing lid 7 used in the stage before the specimen is transferred to the extraction liquid 8) and the specimen collecting jig housing function The test kit provided with the attached sealing lid 7b (the opening sealing lid 7 used in the stage after the specimen is transferred to the extract 8) has been described as an example. 7, one opening sealing lid 7 in both stages before and after the specimen is transferred to the extract 8 (that is, both the function of sealing the extract and the function of accommodating the specimen collecting jig) It is also possible to use an opening sealing lid having the above function to reduce the number of parts.

また、液通路封止蓋１５を、例えば、開封治具１４の下端部全体を覆うようなキャップ状にすることも可能であり、このように構成した場合、検体抽出後の抽出液を開封治具１４の液取出用通路１９から滴下させた後の、抽出液が付着している可能性のある部分をより確実に覆うことが可能になり、感染防止の見地から好ましい。   In addition, the liquid passage sealing lid 15 can be formed into a cap shape that covers the entire lower end portion of the opening jig 14, for example, and in this case, the extraction liquid after the sample extraction is opened. It is possible to more reliably cover the portion where the extract may adhere after being dropped from the liquid extraction passage 19 of the tool 14, which is preferable from the viewpoint of preventing infection.

本願発明はさらにその他の点においても上記実施例に限定されるものではなく、検体採取部を備えた検体採取治具の具体的な構成、容器本体や開口封止蓋の形状や構造、開封治具の構成、特にスリットや段差部の配設態様などに関し、発明の範囲内において、種々の応用、変形を加えることができる。   The invention of the present application is not limited to the above embodiment in other respects as well, the specific configuration of the specimen collection jig provided with the specimen collection section, the shape and structure of the container body and the opening sealing lid, and the opening treatment Various applications and modifications can be made within the scope of the invention with respect to the configuration of the tool, particularly the arrangement of the slits and stepped portions.

上述のように、本願発明によれば、感染性の細菌やウイルスの検査などに用いられる検体のように、衛生上の見地から取り扱い者に触れたり、外部環境に露出することが望ましくないような検体を、安全に、かつ効率よく取り扱い、処理することが可能になる。したがって、本願発明は、検体処理の技術分野や、それに用いられる検査用キットの分野に広く適用することが可能である。   As described above, according to the present invention, it is not desirable to touch the handler from the viewpoint of hygiene or to be exposed to the external environment, such as a specimen used for infectious bacteria or virus inspection. The specimen can be handled and processed safely and efficiently. Therefore, the present invention can be widely applied to the technical field of specimen processing and the field of test kits used therefor.
