Patent ID: 8790577

Claim:
A sample analyzer comprising: an analysis section configured for analyzing a sample containing particles by using a reagent and obtaining numerical data and distribution diagram of the particles contained in the sample; a display device for displaying an analysis result by the analysis section; an information receiver for receiving an input of reagent information assigned to the reagent; a determination section configured for determining whether or not the reagent satisfies a condition to determine that the reagent is a genuine product based on the reagent information received by the information receiver; and a controller configured for controlling an operation of the sample analyzer based on a result of the determination by the determination section, wherein the controller controls the display device to display both the numerical data and the distribution diagram as the analysis result if determined that the reagent satisfies the condition by the determination section and to display the numerical data without displaying the distribution diagram as the analysis result if determined that the reagent does not satisfy the condition by the determination section.
