<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for separating and collecting cells which separate and collect cells, without using any reagent for selecting cells. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for selecting and collecting cells has a pair of optical tweezers 1 for capturing cells in a noncontact manner and moving them, and an observation part 2 for observing the morphological change of cells, while capturing cells by the optical tweezers 1, as it is, and an optical tweezers control part 6 for making the captured cells move by the optical tweezers 1, according to the degree of morphological change of the captured cells, as a result of the observation by the observation part 2, and a n optical tweezers control section 2 that effects dispensing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
