FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology. Claimed is container for isolation and identification of microorganism. Container includes upper part, which has wide internal diameter, and lower part, which has capillary tube, middle conic part, connecting said upper and lower parts, and optic window on the bottom and/or on one or more than one wall of container. Optic window is less than 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) thick and is transparent for wavelength of near-infrared, visible and/or ultraviolet light spectrum. Window contains quartz, quartz glass, sapphire, acrylic resin, methacrylate, cyclic olefin copolymer, cycloolefin polymer or any their combination. Capillary tube has internal diameter from 0.01 inch (0.03 mm) to 0.04 inch (1.02 mm).
EFFECT: container ensures isolation of microorganisms, which are free of interfering materials and compatible with fast identification technologies, from hemoculture and other complex samples.
