Abstract
The present invention provides a cell analyzer which comprises: a cell dispersion unit which causes aggregated cells in a biological specimen to be dispersed, through a shearing force applying process of applying a shearing force to the aggregated cells and an ultrasonic dispersion process of dispersing the aggregated cells, by using ultrasonic waves; a detection unit which detects characteristics information reflecting properties of the cells in the biological specimen on which the shearing force applying process and the ultrasonic dispersion process have been performed; and an analysis unit which analyzes the cells in the biological specimen, based on a detection result from the detection unit.
