1. An analytical system for analyzing a biological sample which is gathered from a patient once, the system comprising:
- means for storing an index analysis item of the biological sample to be measured in a first measurement stage, an assay item of the biological sample to be optionally measured in a second measurement stage following said first measurement stage, and a check level;
means for measuring the index analysis item of the biological sample in the first measurement stage;
determining means for determining whether to measure the assay item of the biological sample in the second measurement stage, which is different from the index analysis item of the first measurement stage, on the basis of a comparison of data of the measured index analysis item with the check level;
means for measuring the assay item of the biological sample in the second measurement stage responsive to said determining means determining that the assay item should be measured; and
means for outputting data of the measured assay item.

Abstract
In a first measurement stage, reaction solutions of samples are optically measured by a biochemical analyzer, and the measurement result of the analysis item which is an index of the disease status regarding the samples is compared with the check index. This check index is stored in memory beforehand. When the measurement result corresponds to the check index, the sample processing goes to a second measurement stage for measuring a specific item. In the second measurement stage, the sample is measured by an immuno-assay apparatus or a nucleic acid analyzer, and the measurement result is outputted.

8. An analytical system for analyzing a biological sample which is gathered from a patient once, the system comprising:
-
biochemical analysis means and immuno-assay means for measuring analysis items of the biological sample, wherein the biochemical analysis means measures GOT and GPT as first analysis items of the biological sample in a first measurement stage; means for storing a plurality of check indexes for finding a possibility of a disease regarding GOT and GPT; means for determining which of the plurality of check indexes corresponds to measured results of at least one of the GOT and GPT of the biological sample, and for determining for measurement in a second measurement stage at least one of the analysis items that corresponds to the determined check index, said at least one of the analysis items being different from said first analysis items; and control means for controlling an operation of the biochemical analysis means or the immuno-assay means so as to measure at least one of the analysis items which is determined to correspond to the determined check index in said second measurement stage. - View Dependent Claims (9)
