Detection system
Each of detection instruments ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d . . . ) of which the number is enabled to be increased or decreased includes at least one sensitive membrane sensitive to a substance, generates first data representing the result of detection of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane, and includes second data in which the result of the detection of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane is associated with the membrane information of the sensitive membrane. An information terminal ( 2 ) collects the first data and the second data from each of the detection instruments ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d . . . ), and compares the first data and the second data, to specify an object to be detected.
1. A detection system comprising:
a plurality of detection instruments, each of the plurality of detection instruments comprising a detection instrument body and at least one detection substrate that is exchangeably attached to the detection instrument body and is provided with a sensitive membrane sensitive to a substance, generating first data representing a result of detection of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane based on a detection signal of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane output from the at least one detection substrate, and comprising second data that is data representing membrane information of the sensitive membrane and associated with the result of the detection of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane; and
a substance detector that collects the first data and the second data from the plurality of detection instruments, and compares the first data and the second data, to specify a substance, wherein
each of the detection instruments further comprises the detection instrument body that transmits the first data to the substance detector through a communication network.
2. The detection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one detection substrate comprises a memory for storing the second data,
the detection instrument body reads the second data from the attached memory of the at least one detection substrate, and
the substance detector collects, through the communication network, the second data read by the detection instrument body included in each of the plurality of detection instruments.
3. The detection system according to claim 1 , wherein
an identification code representing the second data is displayed on the at least one detection substrate,
the detection system comprises an imaging device that images the identification code displayed on the at least one detection substrate of each of the plurality of detection instruments, and
the substance detector collects the second data based on the identification code imaged by the imaging device.
4. The detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the substance detector comprises a database including reaction level data including a range of a reaction level of the sensitive membrane to the detection of the substance corresponding to the sensitive membrane.
