Stool sample handling method and application thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a stool sample handling method and application thereof. The stool sample handling method comprises the following steps: placing a stool sample to be detected in a sealable container; adding a drying agent into the container; sealing the container to enable the drying agent to absorb moisture in both the stool sample and air. The stool sample handling method can effectively maintain the stability of detected ingredients in the stool sample, enables self-help sample extraction by patients at home to be possible, and does not hinder downstream detection (immunologic detection); as a stool and drying agent mixture can directly enter the detection process, the flexibility of follow-up stool sample handling process is greatly facilitated, and the method is conductive to detection and treatment of digestive system diseases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biochemistry, and relates to a method for processing stool samples and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, stool samples used for disease detection are unstable and difficult to preserve, so stool samples from hospitals or medical examination centers must be sent for testing immediately. This has caused certain inconvenience to patients, and also increased the workload of medical staff. At the same time, it has also increased the difficulty of operating and providing results in a timely manner for testing laboratories. As a result, the proportion of patients who cooperate in providing samples decreases, and the effectiveness of subsequent related medical methods is also affected. [0003] Although there have been research and development related protective fluids, the technology is complicated, the price is expensive, and the transportation is inconvenient, which may cause liquid leak...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the stool samples used for disease detection are unstable and difficult to preserve, so the stool samples in hospitals or medical examination centers must be sent for testing immediately

This has caused certain inconvenience to the patients, and also increased the workload of the medical staff. At the same time, it has also increased the difficulty of the operation of the testing laboratory and the timely provision of results.

As a result, the proportion of patients who cooperate with providing samples has decreased, and the effectiveness of subsequent related medical methods has also been affected.

[0003] Although there have been research and development related protective fluids, the technology is complex, expensive, and inconvenient to transport, which may cause liquid leakage

At present, the main detection method is still on-site sampling and detection in hospitals. However, China's population base is too large, and hospital detection alone is far from being able to meet the increasing needs of Chinese people for health checkups.
