Information management device for mass spectrometer

Abstract

An imagertakes an image of a sample-placement surface of a sample plate. A plate identifierdecodes a barcode on the image to acquire a plate ID, recognizes the well arrangement, and retrieves a template having a cell arrangement corresponding to the well arrangement from a plate information storage section. A sample presence identifieridentifies, from the image, a well on which a sample is placed. A plate correspondence information input assistantcreates a template image in which the background color of the cells is changed depending on the presence of the sample, and displays it on a display unit. An analysis operator inputs information into each cell by a direct character-input operation or a drag-and-drop operation from a previously created sample list. The inputted information is associated with the corresponding well number and stored in a registration information storage section
