    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for separating single cells, and the apparatus includes: a fluid channel which has an upper panel and a lower panel and has a flow path which is formed between the upper panel and the lower panel and configured to convey a sample including a single cell; a single cell measuring unit which includes first and second electrodes which are provided on the fluid channel so as to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval and apply electrical signals to the sample being conveyed through the flow path of the fluid channel, and a detection electrode which is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode and detects the single cell in the sample being conveyed through the flow path, such that the single cell measuring unit applies the electrical signals to the sample being conveyed through the flow path, detects the electrical signals of the sample to which the electrical signals are applied, and detects whether there is the single cell in the sample; and a single cell separation control device which outputs a single cell separation control signal when the single cell is detected by the detection electrode. Therefore, there is an effect of effectively separating, within a short time, the single cells from the sample including the single cells.
