Abstract
The present invention optically obtains characteristic values of a plurality of biological samples from a specimen; compares the characteristic values with examination information associated with the same specimen obtained in advance; and calculates an indicator to determine, based on a result of the comparison, whether a process is continued to genetic analysis of the biological samples or a re-preparation of samples from the same specimen is performed. By this method, it is possible to achieve more reliable biomarker detection by ensuring validity through appropriate selection of test samples while reducing cost, effort, and time for analysis in single cell analysis or analysis of a group of a small number of cells.
