Abstract

Disclosed is a method for detaching cultured cells that can selectively detach cultured adhered cells. The scaffold to which the cells adhere is configured from at least a cell adhesion factor containing carbon nanotubes, and by means of radiating laser light in a spot shape on the scaffold in a region where cells are adhered, a shock wave is generated by the heat arising by means of the photothermal conversion of the carbon nanotubes, and by means of this shock wave, the cells are caused to be in a non-adhered state.
