Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of detecting rare cells in which, upon spreading a cell suspension in a flow path formed on a microchamber chip, the loss of rare cells is reduced by improving the cell recovery rate. The present invention provides a method of detecting rare cells from a cell suspension by using a cell-spreading devicecomprising a microchamber chip, a flow path-forming frame, an inlet port, and an outlet port; and a method of recovering rare cells comprising: the step (X) of introducing a cell suspension to a flow pathvia the inlet portso as to spread cells in the flow pathon the microchamber chip; and the step (Y) of storing the cells spread in the flow pathon the microchamber chipin microchamberby intermittent liquid feeding.
