Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a good partition and to easily perform a separation operation of blood by a method wherein a blood-separating agent contains a separation- layer formation material and modified polyethylene and/or modified polypropylene at a specific number-average molecular weight. CONSTITUTION:A boold-separating medium contains a separation-layer formation material and modified polyethylene and/or modified polypropylene at a number- average molecular weight of 1000 to 10000. Modified polyethylene and the modified polypropylene form a stable colloidal structure after they have been mixed with, and dispersed to, the separation-layer formation material used as a blood- separating agent, or they form a flocculation structure after they have been adsorbed to a pigment and a filler, and they give viscosity and a thixotropic property to the separation-layer formation material. As modified polyethylene and modified polypropylene, a functional group such as a phosphate group, a sulfone group or the like, halogen atoms, maleic acid or the like is contained in their molecular structure. The specific gravity at a temperature of 25 deg.C of the blood-separating agent is in the middle between that of blood serum and that of blood clot or that of blood plasma and that of blood corpuscles.
