PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an input error of information such as a production date, and improve reliability of preservation time limit management.SOLUTION: An analyte management system 50 comprises: analyte management table storage means for associating an identifier of an analyte in an analyte container 31 having a radio IC tag 301 with a date, and storing them and an analyte management part 12 for, when receiving the identifier of the analyte from a radio IC tag reading device 2 provided in the vicinity of an entrance of a storage chamber, performing recording processing for associating the received identifier of the analyte with the date at the time point and recording them in the analyte management table storage means, or determining whether or not the analyte has passed the time when the analyte expires, from the date associated with the identifier of the analyte, and performing inventory processing in which a message indicating that the analyte can be discarded if the analyte has passed the time when the analyte expires is output, and in which a message indicating that the analyte can be continuously preserved if the analyte has not passed the time when the analyte expires is output.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】製造日付などの情報の入力ミスを防止し、保管期限管理の信頼性を向上させる。【解決手段】検体管理システム50は、無線ICタグ301を備えた検体容器31内の検体の識別子と、日付とを、関連付けて記憶する検体管理表記憶手段と、保管庫の出入り口近傍に備えられた無線ICタグ読み取り装置2から検体の識別子を受信すると、受信した検体の識別子とその時点の日付を関連付けて検体管理表記憶手段に記録する記録処理または受信した検体の識別子に関連付けられた日付から検体が所定の保管期限を超えているか否かを判定し、超えていれば廃棄可能、超えていなければ保管継続のメッセージを出力する棚卸し処理、を実行する検体管理部12と、を備える。【選択図】図1
