<p>Provided are a method for processing excrement whereby nucleic acids can be collected at a high accuracy from an excrement sample, and a processing container. A container (1) for processing excrement which comprises an excrement-collecting tool (100), a suspension-holding part (110) and a processing solution-holding part (120) and in which solutions for preparing an excrement sample consisting of a suspension (S) and an excrement-processing solution (P) are respectively held in a suspension-holding container (111) and a processing solution-holding container (121). In this container, an excrement sample (E) is first mixed with the suspension (S) and thus suspended therein. Next, the processing solution-holding container (121) is pressed at the lower part so as to release a sealant (131) into the suspension-holding container (111), thereby mixing the suspended excrement suspension with the excrement-processing solution (P). Since a treatment for stabilizing nucleic acids is conducted after performing suspension, it is possible to obtain undegraded nucleic acids at a high accuracy.</p> |
