2. Description of the Related Art There are roughly two methods for concentrating a liquid sample having a low particle concentration. One is a method of removing the supernatant by centrifugation, and the other is a method of filtering using a filter. In the method of centrifuging and removing the supernatant, when the particles to be concentrated are cells, it is necessary to centrifuge with a centrifugal force that does not damage the cells, which requires time. Further, even in the case of centrifuging particles that are not easily damaged, it is necessary to perform decantation or the like in order to remove the liquid in order to separate the liquid from the particles after centrifuging, which is troublesome. In the method of filtering using a filter, when the particles are cells or the like, the cells may adhere to the filter and may damage the cells when the cells are collected. In addition, there were problems such as a low recovery rate.
