Abstract
A device for preparing a glass slide specimen of cells has: a filter that has recesses, which capture target cells that are at least one of circulating tumor cells within blood or rare tumor cells within a body fluid, and pores that are formed in the recesses and that pass non-target cells therethrough; a glass slide that is superposed onto a surface of the filter, at a side at which the target cells are captured, and onto which the target cells are transferred; a cover member that is placed on a surface of the filter at a side opposite from the glass slide, and that seals in a buffer solution for immersing the target cells at interiors of the recesses; and a container into which the glass slide is immersed and in which is stored a preservation liquid that preserves the target cells that have been transferred onto the glass slide.
