Abstract: A specimen analysis system includes a first information processing unit and a second information processing unit. Each unit includes a storage unit storing programs executing the information processing, and attribute information indicating attributes of the programs, and a processing unit that performs the information processing by executing the programs stored in the storage unit. The processing unit of a first apparatus acquires attribute information of programs stored in a second apparatus, extracts programs for processing from the first analytical apparatus, from programs stored in the second apparatus based on attribute information from the second apparatus. When a first specimen analysis even occurs, the first apparatus transmits a process request to the second apparatus, which stores a program selected from the extracted programs.
