Patent ID: 8569047

Claim:
A sample container for a microbial detection process comprising: a two-layer membrane filter comprising a hydrophilic membrane filter as an upper layer, into which a solution is supplied, and a hydrophobic membrane filter as an underlying lower layer, into which the solution having passed through the hydrophilic membrane filter is supplied; and a container which holds the two-layer membrane filter in a bottom portion where the outer edge of the two-layer membrane filter is secured, wherein the hydrophilic membrane filter has a pore size smaller than that of the hydrophobic membrane filter, wherein the hydrophobic membrane filter is porous membrane filter having a power size of 0.8 μm to 80 μm or a membrane filter having a mesh structure with a pitch size of 1 μm to 59 μm, and wherein the hydrophilic membrane filter has a pore size of 0.05 μm to 0.65 μm.
