A blood cell separating system is offered for precisely separating and concentrating rare fetal nucleated cells intermixed in the blood of a pregnant woman, to conveniently obtain test preparations capable of being used for prenatal chromosomal/genetic diagnosis. A blood cell separating system is characterized by comprising (1) a primary separating device for removing mainly non-nucleated erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets from blood samples taken from a pregnant woman to obtain a primary separated sample, (2) a secondary separating device for using a carbohydrate-lectin method to remove residual non-nucleated erythrocytes and leukocytes from the primary separated sample obtained by the primary separating device to obtain a secondary separated sample with concentrated fetal nucleated cells, and (3) preparing device for preparing the secondary separated sample obtained by the secondary separating device.
