Cell ejection apparatus, cell ejection method

Abstract

To provide a cell ejection apparatus capable of reducing the time required to eject a predetermined amount of droplets of a cell suspension containing a cell in an ink jet cell ejection apparatus. A cell ejection apparatus for ejecting a droplet of a cell suspension containing a cell and a liquid by an ink jet system, wherein the cell ejection apparatus comprises a liquid chamber holding the cell suspension, an ejection orifice for ejecting the droplet from the liquid chamber, a supply flow path for supplying the cell suspension to the liquid chamber, a collection flow path for collecting the liquid or the cell suspension from the liquid chamber, and a cell ejection unit for selectively ejecting the droplet from the ejection orifice so that the droplet contains the cell.
