Abstract
The present invention provides a blood cell separation membrane for separating blood into serum or plasma and blood cells while preventing hemolysis of the blood cells. Such a blood cell separation membrane can be obtained by impregnating a porous membrane for separating blood cells from blood supplied thereto with a solution containing a hydrophobic aminocarboxylic acid, a protein derived from silk, Tris, TES, ε-aminohexanoic acid, tranexamic acid, or heparin and then drying the membrane.
