Experiment analysis system
View Patent ↗An experiment analysis system eliminates the need to enter sample information each time an analysis processing unit is activated. The experiment analysis system includes a measurement device for measuring the expression levels of a sample using a reagent, an experiment processing unit for processing measurement data transmitted from the measurement device and creating an experimental result file, and a plurality of analysis processing units for analyzing the experimental results based on the experimental result file. The experiment processing unit transmits the experimental result file, which includes measurement data, an ID code identifying one of the plurality of analysis processing units, and sample information regarding the sample, to the analysis processing unit.
1. An experiment analysis system comprising:
a measurement device for measuring expression levels of a sample using a reagent;
an experiment processing unit for processing measurement data transmitted from the measurement device and creating an experimental result file; and
a plurality of analysis processing units for analyzing the experimental results based on the experimental result file,
wherein the experiment processing unit creates an experimental result file having the measurement data, an ID code identifying only a predetermined one of the plurality of analysis processing units, and sample information regarding the sample, and the experiment processing unit transmits the experimental result file to the predetermined analysis processing unit, and
wherein when the sample information is identical throughout a plurality of experiments, a different experimental result file is created for one of the experiments by entering the measurement data and the ID code for the analysis processing unit without re-entering the sample information.
2. An experiment analysis system comprising:
a measurement device for measuring expression levels of a sample using a reagent;
