Relates to a collection/extraction container (1) for collecting solid forensic samples (2) and/or for extracting biological material from these solid forensic samples (2) and its use. The container (1) has a top opening (3) for the insertion of a solid forensic sample (2). The container (1) comprises a basket (7) and an essentially horizontal intermediate floor (8) for the retention of the solid forensic sample (2) during digestion/lysis and extraction, the intermediate floor (8) being permeable to fluids and dividing the inner chamber (5) into an upper sample space (9) and a lower fluid space (10). The container according to the invention is characterized in that is comprises an essentially vertical channel (11), which is accomplished to allow a pipetting needle (12) to be inserted through the sample space (9) and into the fluid space (10) in that the channel (11) has a top orifice (13) that is situated nearby a top opening (3) of the container (1) and in that the channel (11) penetrates the intermediate floor (8) in a bottom orifice (14), wherein the container (1) also comprises a partition wall (15) that at least partially surrounds the channel (11) and that separates the latter from the upper sample space (9).
