Patent ID: 11988680

Abstract:
In a device (4) for assisting in analytical operations for correctly arranging samples in a plurality of sample-placement portions and implementing multiple protocols in the correct order, a storage section (41) holds sample information and analysis parameters for each protocol as well as the order of implementation. A protocol-selection-input receiver (42) receives an input of the selection of a protocol. A sample-position displayer (43) displays, on a display unit (6), sample information in the selected protocol along with the positions of the sample-placement portions. A protocol-implementation-information collector (45) collects information concerning the state of implementation of the protocols. A determiner (46) determines whether a protocol which must be implemented earlier was already implemented, based on the state of implementation and order of implementation of the protocols. A batch-file creator (47) creates a batch file when it is confirmed that the protocol which must be implemented earlier was already implemented.
