Apparatus for collecting detached cells, method of the same, and program for the same

A detached cells collection method for collecting anchorage-dependent cells, which are cultured in a culture chamber and are detached from said culture chamber, said detached cells collection method comprising:

• a time counting step that counts an elapsed time since injection of a release agent into said culture chamber with the anchorage-dependent cells adhering thereto;
• and
• a collection step that actuates a cell collection module, which is used for collecting cells in said culture chamber, to classify cells detached from said culture chamber by the release agent according to the elapsed time counted in said time counting step and collect the classified cells.

A program that causes a computer to carry out an operation of collecting anchorage-dependent cells, which are cultured in a culture chamber and are detached from said culture chamber, said program causing the computer to attain:

• a time counting function that counts an elapsed time since injection of a release agent into said culture chamber with the anchorage-dependent cells adhering thereto;
• and
• a collection function that actuates a cell collection module, which is used for collecting cells in said culture chamber, to classify cells detached from said culture chamber by the release agent according to the elapsed time counted by said time counting function and collect the classified cells.
