Analysis tool, identification apparatus, and analysis apparatus

An identification apparatus for identifying an analysis tool having a reagent portion to be used for an analysis process for a sample, wherein:

• the analysis tool further includes an identifying marker portion which is formed by using an invisible substance, the identification apparatus comprising:
• a light emitter which emits a light toward the identifying marker portion;
• a light receiver which receives a light emitted by the invisible substance for forming the identifying marker portion exposed with the emitted light emitted by the light emitter;
• and
• an identification unit which identifies the analysis tool on the basis of a light-receiving result obtained by the light receiver.

An analysis apparatus for performing an analysis process for a sample by using an analysis tool having a reagent portion, wherein:

• the analysis instrument has an identifying marker portion which is formed by using an invisible substance, the identifying marker portion having at least a part thereof on which analysis-related information to be used when the analysis process is performed for the sample is recorded, and the analysis apparatus comprising:
• a light emitter which emits a light toward the identifying marker portion;
• a light receiver which receives a light emitted by the invisible substance for forming the identifying marker portion exposed with the emitted light emitted by the light emitter;
• an identification unit which identifies the analysis tool on the basis of a light-receiving result obtained by the light receiver;
• a storage unit which acquires the analysis-related information on the basis of the light-receiving result obtained by the light receiver and which stores the acquired analysis-related information;
• a measuring unit which measures the sample located on the reagent portion of the analysis tool;
• and
• a calculating unit which calculates numerical information in relation to a specified component contained in the sample on the basis of a measurement result of the sample measured by the measuring unit and the analysis-related information stored by the storage unit.
