A liquid component collecting device capable of more easily collecting a liquid component. A liquid component collecting device () is provided with: a flexible cylindrical liquid component storage container () having an opening at one end thereof; a cylindrical first housing container () for housing the liquid component storage container () and having an opening at one end thereof; and a first cap () connected to the opening in the liquid component storage container () and fitted to the opening in the first housing container (). A pressure regulating space () independent of the internal space of the liquid component storage container () is formed between the outer side of the liquid component storage container () and the inner side of the first housing container (). The first cap () is provided with a liquid component inlet channel () for introducing blood into the liquid component storage container (), a first communication channel () communicating with the internal space of the liquid component storage container (), and a second communication channel () communicating with the pressure regulating space ().

Liquid component collecting device

It is intended to provide an apparatus for separating and storing blood components which facilitates the preparation of serum. An apparatus () for separating and storing blood components which comprises a blood pooling part () for pooling a fluid at least containing liquid components containing a blood-origin coagulation factors and platelets, a component storing part () for storing at least a part of the components of the fluid pooled in the blood pooling part (), and a connector part () aseptically connecting the blood pooling part () to the component storing part (), wherein the blood pooling part () comprises a blood pooling container () in the form of a flexible tube, a fluid inlet channel () for introducing the fluid into the blood pooling container () and a component outlet channel () for leading out at least a part of the components of the fluid; the component storing part () has a component inlet channel () for introducing at least a part of the components of the fluid having been led out from the blood pooling container (); and the connector part () connects the component outlet channel () to the component inlet channel ().
