Abstract
A cell analysis apparatus includes an optical detection section that accommodates a flow of a measurement sample obtained from a biological sample and a pigment into a flow cell. A light source irradiates the measurement sample flowing in the flow cell and a fluorescence detector detects fluorescence from the measurement sample. A signal processing circuit acquires a value reflecting the height of a waveform of the signal and a value reflecting the length of a ridge line of the waveform of the signal, and a system control section distinguishes between an aggregating cell formed by aggregation of a plurality of cells and a non-aggregating cell, based on the value of the fluorescence signal obtained by the signal processing circuit.
