Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. An analyzer configured to classify cells contained in a specimen, the analyzer comprising:
a sample preparation part comprising a mixing chamber and configured to generate a measurement sample by preparation from a specimen with a reagent in the mixing chamber;
a detector comprising a flow cell in which the measurement sample flows and configured to obtain a signal from the measurement sample flowing in the flow cell; and
a controller comprising a memory storing a computer program and a processer to execute the computer program, wherein
the controller is programmed to execute
causing the sample preparation part to execute
preparing a first measurement sample by treating a specimen under a first preparation condition and
preparing a second measurement sample by treating the specimen under a second preparation condition different from the first preparation condition,
causing the detector to execute
obtaining a first signal from the prepared first measurement sample and
obtaining a second signal from the prepared second measurement sample,
classifying, by using the first signal, cells contained in the specimen,
classifying, by using the second signal, cells contained in the specimen, and
comparing a result of the cell classification performed by using the first signal and a result of the cell classification performed by using the second signal, with each other, and outputting an analysis result on the basis of a result of the comparison.
