Title:
METHOD FOR PREPARING FECAL SAMPLE, FECAL SAMPLE PREPARATION SOLUTION, AND FECES COLLECTION KIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/024251
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing a fecal sample which can stably store a nucleic acid contained in feces without the need of any complicated procedure.  Also disclosed is a fecal sample preparation solution to be used in the method.  Further disclosed is a feces collection kit.  Still further disclosed is a method for collecting a nucleic acid from feces by using a fecal sample prepared by the above-mentioned method and analyzing the nucleic acid.  Feces collected is mixed with a fecal sample preparation solution containing, as an active ingredient, a water-soluble organic solvent containing an organic acid, thereby preparing a fecal sample which can store a nucleic acid contained therein satisfactorily.
