PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for quickly separating partial sample of blood plasma or blood serum from a blood sample. SOLUTION: A separator 10 and method for quickly separating partial sample of blood plasma or blood serum from cells 28 in a blood sample 26 are provided. The separator includes a housing 12 for regulating a separation container 14, an outlet opening, a valve 18 for selectively sealing the outlet opening, and a spinner 22. At first, the housing 12 is rotated by separation speed producing the separation of the cells from blood plasma or blood serum. Subsequently, the spinner 22 opens the valve 18 and the housing is rotated at the discharge speed of higher speed than the discharge of the cells is produced through the outlet opening. After the cells are discharged from the separation container 14, the rotation of the housing 12 is stopped, and blood plasma or blood serum is collected from the separation container 14. Since the separator provided herein does not use separation gel, it is easily washed and utilized again. |
