CELL SORTER, CELL SORTING SYSTEM, AND CELL SORTING METHOD

摘要

In order to pick up a sufficient amount of cells for a genetic test from a section of a biological tissue with a simple structure and a simple operation, provided is a cell collection apparatus comprising: a substrate (4) which is provided to be dividable into a plurality of small pieces along a predetermined dividing line, and which has a flat surface to which a section (A) of a biological tissue can be pasted; a sheet-shaped expandable member (5) to which the substrate (4) can be adhered in a detachable manner, and which is expandable in a direction along the surface; an expansion unit (6) for expanding the expandable member (5) in at least a region adhered with the substrate (4), in a direction along the surface; and a pickup unit for detaching and picking up the divided small pieces from the expandable member (5).
