The inventive apparatus is a device for collecting a target volume of blood in a collecting bag connected to a collection needle with a flexible tube. The device has a plate for the collecting bag and a clamping device for clamping the flexible tube. The device also has a bearing element having a bearing surface, and a clamping element with a clamping surface. The clamping element is able to move between an open position in which the flexible tube positioned between the bearing and clamping surfaces is not deformed and a closed position in which the flexible tube positioned between the bearing and clamping surfaces is closed off. The device also has a control unit configured to determine the volume of blood collected and move the clamping element from the open position to an intermediate position, when the determined volume of blood collected reaches a predetermined volume.
