An integration system comprising a biological image acquiring device which acquires, from a sample including biological particles which are a detection target, a biological image which is an image of the biological particles; a nucleotide sequence information acquiring device which acquires nucleotide sequence information of the biological particles; and an integration device which associates and registers the biological image and the nucleotide sequence information acquired from the same type of biological particles in an integrated database.

Integration system and integration method

A method of pretreating a sample including biological particles, the method including a step of acquiring a fraction (b) which passes through a sieve (A) having meshes of 250 to 1000 &#x3bc;m and does not pass through a sieve (B) having meshes of 32 to 63 &#x3bc;m by sieving a sample including biological particles as a detection target, and a step of adding a colloidal solution having a density of 1.10 to 2.45 g/cmto the fraction (b), subjecting the resultant solution to centrifugation, and acquiring a supernatant fraction (S) after the centrifugation.

Method of pretreating sample including biological particles, method of acquiring image of biological particles, apparatus for pretreating sample including biological particles, and biological particle image-acquiring apparatus
