A method and an apparatus for rapid cell separation without using density gradient and antibody but using a column packed with resin particles. The interactions between cell surfaces and resin particles resulting in the different retention time of different cells in the column contribute to the separation of the specific cells from the mixed cell population. Therefore, no antibodies and specific chemical reagents are used in cell separation maintain the physiological status of separated cells. This invention can also apply to clinical use for fast and massive separation of blood sub-population, for the remove of leukemia cells from normal leucocytes in vivo or in vitro, and particularly for drug screening through the interaction between drugs and specific and non-specific cells.
