Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program executable by an analyzer to implement:
preparing, by the analyzer, a plurality of specimens that include samples of calibrators, respectively, at different dilution rates;
repeating, by the analyzer, a measurement at a number of the different dilution rates to measure each of the plurality of specimens to obtain sets of time series data corresponding, respectively, to the different dilution rates;
repeating, by the analyzer, an analysis at the number of the different dilution rates to analyze each set of time series to derive, and store in a memory, a first set of calibration curve points corresponding, respectively, to the different dilution rates;
subsequent to storing the first set of calibration curve points in the memory, performing a point correction process by the analyzer for each initiation of the point correction process, wherein the point correction process is executed to correct a calibration curve point in the first set of calibration curve points and comprises following steps (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f):
(a) displaying, by the analyzer, a point selection screen that shows the first set of calibration curve points retrieved from the memory for a selection of one calibration curve point to be corrected among the first set of calibration curve points;
(b) in response to a selection of one calibration curve point from the first set of calibration curve points, displaying, by the analyzer, an input screen that requires an input of a rack identifier of a specimen rack and a position identifier of an insertion position of the specimen rack;
(c) preparing, by the analyzer, a re-measurement specimen that includes a quantity of the calibrator at the dilution rate corresponding to the selected one calibrator curve point, wherein the re-measurement specimen is prepared from the calibrator in a container that has been inserted by a user in the identified insertion position of the identified specimen rack;
(d) measuring, by the analyzer, the quantity of the calibrator in the re-measurement specimen to derive a new set of time series data corresponding to the selected one calibration curve point;
(e) analyzing, by the analyzer, the new set of time series data to derive a new calibration point corresponding to the selected one calibration curve point; and
(f) replacing, by the analyzer, the selected one calibration curve point in the memory with the new calibration curve point to update the first set of calibration curve points to a second set of calibration curve points.
