An apparatus for separating components, the apparatus comprising:
- a main chamber which contains a sample that is separated into a plurality of layers by a centrifugal force;
- a component separating chamber which is connected to the main chamber, and contains a specific layer including specific components among the plurality of layers within liquid receiving parts;
- a first channel which connects the component separating chamber to the main chamber;
- and
- a first channel valve which is disposed in the first channel to control a liquid flowing through the first channel.
A method of separating specific components from a sample using an apparatus for separating components, the method comprising:
- injecting the sample into a main chamber of the apparatus;
- separating the sample into a plurality of layers according to components;
- and
- opening a first channel valve disposed in a first channel connecting the main chamber to a component separating chamber of the apparatus and extracting and discharging a specific layer including the specific components among the plurality of layers within liquid receiving parts to the component separating chamber.
