Abstract: A sample group forming section 24 classifies samples derived from microorganisms into groups according to empirical information showing the species or strain of each sample. A differential analysis section 27 performs a differential analysis using a peak matrix created based on the result of the grouping. An operator enters group rearrangement conditions concerning the drug resistance of microorganisms. Under the entered conditions, a sample group rearranging/rearrangement-cancelling section 25 rearranges the already formed groups by selecting or merging groups using another kind of previously registered empirical information which shows the drug resistance of each group. The differential analysis section 27 performs a differential analysis using a peak matrix newly created based on the result of the rearrangement of the groups. Thus, differential analysis results concerning the resistance to different drugs can be sequentially acquired as the group rearrangement condition is successively changed.

Abstract: An identification probability estimation model, which shows the relationship between the S/N ratios of MS1 peaks and the cumulative number of the peaks in the case where MS2 measurements and identifications is performed in descending order of S/N ratio, is created beforehand from the S/N ratios of MS1 peaks as well as the results of MS1 or MS2 measurements and identifications (success or failure) performed for a number of fractionated samples obtained from a predetermined sample. Based on an evaluated value of the identification probability and that of the identification probability increment, an order of priority of MS2 measurements for a plurality of MS1 peaks is determined, and an MS2 measurement sequence which gives the maximal expectation value of the number of substances to be identified under a limitation on the number of MS2 measurements or other factors is determined.

Abstract: Provided is a method for quantitatively estimating the probability of substance identification based on the result of an MS2 analysis using a certain MS1 peak as the precursor ion, before performing the MS2 analysis. Based on the result of MS1 and MS2 analyses and substance identification performed for each of a number of fractionated samples obtained from a known preparatory sample, an identification probability estimation model creator grasps m/z and S/N ratios of MS1 peaks having high probabilities of successful identification, calculates a parameter which determines the order of MS1 peaks and a parameter representing an identification probability estimation model, and stores the parameters in a memory. When identifying a substance, an approximate order is calculated for an MS1 peak obtained by the analysis. The identification probability for that peak is estimated from the approximate order with reference to the identification probability estimation model.

Abstract: Even when areas delimited by delimiting points are not appropriate and area division has failed, success or failure of area division in such areas can easily be determined by applying a map determination condition in the map determining step (step S50). And since the areas delimited by the delimiting points are changed and the map determining step (step S50), including also steps S22 and S23 and steps S30 and S40, is repeated until the map determination condition is satisfied, the areas satisfying the map determination condition are determined appropriate and the area division in such areas can be carried out accurately. Even when there is distortion, a two-dimensional position map can be corrected accurately.

Since parallel processing is carried out on the list data and the parallel processing is carried out in each of steps S4 (forward projection) and S5 (back projection), a competition for memory can be prevented to realize an improvement in speed. As a result, high versatility and an improvement in speed of the calculations can be attained.
