Abstract
Provided is an apparatus, including a first filtration unit that filters a fluid sample by a first filter; a culture unit for immersing the first filter after filtration by the first filtration unit in a liquid medium and performs culture; a second filtration unit that filters the liquid medium after culture by a partial region of the first filter; an extraction unit that extracts nucleic acids of organisms contained in the liquid medium from a residue after filtration by the second filtration unit; and a production unit that produces a second filter by cutting out the partial region of the first filter immersed in the liquid medium, wherein the second filtration unit filters the liquid medium after culture by the second filter.
