Abstract
A blood storage container suitable for quick and efficient production of a large amount of serum while ensuring high safety, and a method of separating blood and a regenerative medical process using the same are provided. A blood component separation storage apparatus is provided for separating a plurality of blood components of blood so as to be stored therein. The blood component separation storage apparatus includes a blood reservoir for holding the blood and a component storage part connected to the blood reservoir aseptically and in an air-tight manner. The blood reservoir contains an anticoagulant which suppresses coagulation of the blood. The blood reservoir has a serum producing function to remove coagulation factors from the blood to an extent enabling use in practical applications as a serum, and the component storage part stores each blood component generated by separation of the blood in the blood reservoir.
