Claim:
1. A sample analyzer, comprising: a reagent holding section configured to hold a reagent; a measurement section configured to measure one or more first measurement specimens which are prepared from one or more subject samples collected from a subject and the reagent held by the reagent holding section, and to measure a second measurement specimen which is prepared from a quality control sample and the reagent held by the reagent holding section; an output section, a non-transitory memory for storing computer programs, and a central processing unit programmed to execute instructions from a stored program stored in the non-transitory memory, the instructions configured to cause the central processing unit to perform operations comprising: wherein when the central processing unit registers the sample analysis order, the central processing unit causes the output section to output a number of analyzable subject samples based on a remaining amount of the reagent held by the reagent holding section, an amount of the reagent required to prepare the one or more first measurement specimens and an amount of the reagent required to prepare the second measurement specimen.
