Separation method, separation device and separation apparatus for separating body fluid into respective components

摘要

A body fluid is separated into respective components by passing the body fluid through a separation device. The separation device includes a lipid having lipophilic and hydrophilic groups, and a support immobilizing the lipid. The lipid is immobilized on the support such that only its hydrophilic groups contact the body fluid introduced in the separation device. Only body fluid components having a strong adherent property adhere to the hydrophilic groups of the lipid.
