Device for the collection, refinement, and administration of gastrointestinal microflora

A method of isolating gastrointestinal microflora from stools of a donor, the method comprising:

• providing a toilet bracket which is removably coupled to a toilet seat such that the toilet bracket is centered at an opening of the toilet seat;
• providing a container for collecting stool, wherein the container is coupled to the toilet bracket to be centered at the opening of the toilet seat;
• collecting stool from the donor in a container as the donor is defecating while seated on the toilet seat,
• wherein the container is sealed after the stool is collected to place the collected stool in a closed environment;
• introducing a solvent through an introduction port into the sealed container;
• homogenizing the solvent and collected stool within the sealed container to form a mixture;
• filtering the homogenized mixture to extract a filtrate comprising the solvent and gastrointestinal microflora from the mixture within the sealed container, the filtrate having reduced solids;
• and
• weighing the container and determining the weight of the collected stool, and wherein the volume of solvent introduced depends on the determined weight of the collected stool,
• wherein the filtrate is collected from a dispensing port of the sealed container, and
• wherein the suction port is the same as at least one of the introduction port or dispensing port.
