Abstract
An arithmetic expression used for estimating a target item of a specimen is more easily incorporated into an optical measurement system. An optical measurement instrument includes an optical analysis unit configured to perform an optical analysis on a specimen and measure an intensity of light as a result of the optical analysis, and an arithmetic processing unit configured to download an arithmetic expression from a server device via a network, and perform a quantitative analysis on a target substance contained in the specimen by substituting the result of the optical analysis by the optical analysis unit into the arithmetic expression.
Claims11
An optical measurement instrument, comprising:
- an optical analysis unit configured to perform an optical analysis on a specimen and measure an intensity of light as a result of the optical analysis;
- and
- an arithmetic processing unit configured to receive a selection of a target substance and an item of quantitative analysis of the target substance from a user, download an arithmetic expression from a server device via a network wherein the arithmetic expression is chosen from among a plurality of arithmetic expressions stored in the server device based on the selection of the user, and perform a quantitative analysis on the target substance contained in the specimen by substituting the result of the optical analysis by the optical analysis unit into the arithmetic expression.
An optical measurement method using an optical measurement system including an optical measurement instrument and a server device, the method comprising:
- a request step of connecting to the server device via a network, receiving a selection of a target substance and an item of quantitative analysis of the target substance from a user, and requesting an arithmetic expression by the optical measurement instrument;
- a selecting step of selecting the arithmetic expression from among a plurality of arithmetic expressions stored in the server device based on the selection of the user;
- a transmitting step of transmitting the arithmetic expression in response to a request from the optical measurement instrument by the server device;
- a receiving step of receiving the arithmetic expression transmitted from the server device by the optical measurement instrument;
- an optical analysis step of performing an optical analysis on a specimen and measuring an intensity of light as a result of the optical analysis by the optical measurement instrument;
- and
- an arithmetic processing step of performing a quantitative analysis on a target substance contained in the specimen by substituting the result of the optical analysis into the arithmetic expression by the optical measurement instrument.
