Abstract
A sample purification apparatus includes a container for separating, with a heavy solution, a mixed sample based on a specific gravity difference and a collector that collects a component in the mixed sample lighter in specific gravity than the heavy solution by receiving a supernatant flowed out from the container. The container includes a flow-out port provided in an uppermost portion of the container and a flow-out path that guides the supernatant flowed out through the flow-out port to the collector. the container has a horizontal cross-sectional area which gradually decreases upward starting from a prescribed height of the container to a height where the flow-out port is located.
