The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting and counting rare cells in blood. The apparatus according to the present invention comprises a blood sample collection tube, a measurement kit, a detector, and the like, wherein a complex material in which a target antibody and a tracer are combined, and blood are dispersed and mixed in the blood sample collection tube, blood is injected and individual cells are captured at respective micro-trap structures in the measurement kit, and the number of the micro-trap structures, which emit light by the occurrence of an antigen-antibody reaction and the adhering of tracers to the surface of cells, can be counted in the detector. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and conveniently detect and count the number of rare cells through a normal blood test at clinical practice and test multiple samples.
