<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for collecting a cell or colony, which recovers a desired cell or colony from a cell group being cultured while maintaining a cell or colony culture environment, and also to provide a method for collecting the cell or colony. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for collecting the cell or colony includes a cylinder member 21 that inserts at least a tip 21a into the inside of a culture vessel in which cells are attached to inside wall faces and cultured, and a syringe pump 23 being a discharge mechanism for discharging a release liquid 30 for releasing the cells from the inside wall faces from the tip 21a and a suction mechanism for sucking the cells constituting the colony released by the release liquid 30 from the tip 21a into the inside of the cylinder member 21. The release liquid 30 has a specific gravity and a viscosity higher than those of a culture solution used for the cell culture. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
