When the operator registers the specimen numbers of the analysis targets, a used-method automatic determiner (34) refers to the specimen information and method information to identify a suitable analysis method for each compound in the registered specimens. An analysis schedule creator (35) creates a schedule table in which the specimens and analysis methods are described in order of the analysis.
