Abstract

In the case where a plurality of analysis data files which respectively contain analysis results and data-analyzing process results for a plurality of samples should be managed as one lot, a portion of the information contained in those analysis data files is extracted and compiled into a final result record report file. This file is registered in a database. A supervisor views the final result record report on a client terminal, evaluates the validity of the analysis result and other contents for each sample, and performs a predetermined operation to execute the signature of approval or other evaluations. Signature information, including the signer's name, date and time of the signature, etc., is recorded for the final result record report file. The same signature information is also recorded for each of the analysis data files located by referring to link information.

Claims3

Dependent claims

An analysis information management system including a communication network, an analytical instrument connected to the communication network, a database server connected to the communication network, as well as a client terminal connected to the communication network and provided with an operation unit and a display unit, the analysis information management system configured to register, in a database constructed on the database server, a data file containing analysis data acquired by performing an analysis on a sample with the analytical instrument and/or data-analyzing process result acquired by performing a data-analyzing process based on the analysis data using the client terminal, and to manage the registered data file, wherein:

the client terminal includes:
a) an integrated file creator for extracting at least a portion of a plurality of pieces of information respectively contained in a plurality of data files registered in the database or a plurality of pieces of information respectively associated with the data files, for compiling the extracted pieces of information into one integrated file, and for storing the integrated file in the database;
b) a signature-receiving processor for reading the integrated file from the database and displaying the pieces of information contained in the integrated file on the display unit, and for receiving a predetermined operation with the operation unit by a user viewing the displayed information, as a command to execute a signature for the integrated file;
and
c) a signature-executing processor for performing a recording of the signature for the integrated file and for performing a recording of the signature for each of the data files from which the integrated file is created, when the command to execute the signature is received by the signature-receiving processor.
