PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress mixture of air into an area particularly near a filter that captures a cell and remove foreign matter in liquid, and make it possible to perform processing regarding cell capture with good repeatability.SOLUTION: By providing a pretreatment part 20A on a process liquid flow path included in a cell-capturing apparatus 100, even in the case where air bubbles are included in process liquid, air bubbles stay in an introduction region 24 inside the pretreatment part 20A, so that air bubbles are removed while the liquid moves through the introduction region 24 and a discharge region 26. Further, by providing a filter 23 for removing foreign matter, at least a part of foreign matter included in the process liquid (the foreign matter that cannot pass through through-holes 21) can be captured, so that the process liquid from which the foreign matter was removed can be supplied to a cell-capturing device 1 in a subsequent stage. Therefore, supply of liquid in which air bubbles are mixed toward the vicinity of a filter 57 of the cell-capturing device 1 arranged in a subsequent stage of the pretreatment part 20A is suppressed, and it becomes possible to perform processing regarding cell capture with good repeatability. |
