Patent ID: 8772037

Claim:
An analysis support method executed by an analysis system having an analysis apparatus and a remote computer, the analysis support method comprising: reading reagent information concerning a reagent in a reagent container from a memory included in the reagent container, the reagent container being used by the analysis apparatus; first judging whether the reagent in the reagent container is usable based on the read reagent information; upon judging an unusable condition of the reagent by the first judging, writing data representing that the reagent is unusable into the memory included in the reagent container, and registering the data representing that the reagent is unusable into a reagent database managed by the remote computer connected with the analysis apparatus in association with identification information to identify the reagent container; second judging whether there is an abnormal state for a specimen of an analysis using the reagent in the reagent container according to an abnormal detection condition for the specimen; writing data relating to a result of the analysis of the specimen into the memory, the data relating to the result of the analysis of the specimen including information concerning a presence or absence of the abnormal state judged by the second judging; and storing the data relating to the analysis of the specimen into an analysis result data storage managed by the remote computer.
