Claim One:
1. A cell analyzer comprising: a first dispersion unit including a grooved rotor that disperses aggregated cells in a biological specimen through a shearing force applied by the grooved rotor to the aggregated cells, a first detection unit including a first flow cytometer that detects the cells in the biological specimen on which the shearing force is applied; a specimen preparation unit that separates a portion of the biological specimen based on a detection result from the first detection unit, and provides a measurement specimen; a second dispersion unit including an ultrasonic wave generator that disperses the aggregated cells in the measurement specimen by ultrasonic waves emitted from the ultrasonic wave generator; a second detection unit including a second flow cytometer that detects characteristics information reflecting properties of the cells in the measurement specimen on which the ultrasonic dispersion process has been performed; and an analysis unit which analyzes the cells in the measurement specimen, based on a detection result from the detection unit.
