The object of the present invention is to provide (1) a cell sorter,(2) a flow cytometer capable of detecting sideward scattered light, (3) a method for accurately measuring cell concentration,(4) a method for multicolor staining analysis without a fluorescence correction, and the like, which satisfy requirements that carry-over and cross contamination of samples do not occur. The object can be solved by an apparatus for separating particles comprising:
a flow cell wherein a flow path is formed in a flat substrate,
a illumination unit configured to illuminate the particles in a sample liquid flowing through the flow path,
a detection unit configured to detect particles of interest by detecting scattered light or fluorescence from the particle when the particle is illuminated, and identifying the particle based on its signal intensity,
a constant-pressure pump which applies a pressure pulse to the particles in the sample liquid flowing through the flow path in the flow cell, and an electromagnetic valve connected thereto, and
a control unit configured to control the movement of the electromagnetic valve based on the signal from the detection unit. |
