A microbe quantifying apparatus includes: a filtering mechanism that filters microbes contained in a fluid sample with a filter; a quantifying mechanism that quantifies the microbes with a specified biological material contained in the microbes on the filter as an index; and an anti-drying mechanism that prevents drying of the microbes on the filter.

Microbe quantifying apparatus and microbe quantifying method

Provided is a device for collecting biological material from a microbe, the device including: a collection container that is used to collect a microbe from a liquid sample containing the microbe and to extract the biological material from the microbe; and a temperature control mechanism that controls a temperature of the collection container. Herein, the temperature control mechanism controls a temperature of the collection container so that the microbe is collected at a first temperature and the biological material is extracted from the microbe at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
