Abstract
An object of the present invention is to purify and concentrate differentiating cells derived from ES cells, iPS cells, or the like without damaging them. The above problem can be solved by an apparatus for analyzing and separating particles comprising: a flow path cartridge, an illumination unit, a detection unit for detecting particles of interest, a force generating unit, wherein a sample liquid reservoir (sample reservoir) connected to a first flow path; a fourth branched flow path and a fifth branched flow path which are connected to the first flow path; a third-A reservoir connected to the fourth branched flow path; a third-B reservoir connected to the fifth branched flow path; and a fourth reservoir for reserving particles which are not sorting; are formed on the cartridge, and each reservoir comprise a means which equalizes an air pressure in the each reservoir with an air pressure of an in-device air pressure control system, and a stream of the flow path in the cartridge is controlled by controlling the air pressure in the each reservoir through the each in-device air pressure control system.
