METHOD FOR DETERMINING SUCCESS OF MEASUREMENT AND SAMPLE MEASUREMENT DEVICE

To provide a method for determining a success of a measurement and a sample measurement device which can determine whether a sample has been successfully measured even when the target of the measurement is rare particles in the sample.SOLUTION: The method for determining a success of a measurement of target particles in a measurement sample includes a detection step (S1) and a successful measurement determination step (S2). In the method for determining a success of a measurement, the target particles and other particles in a measurement sample are detected in the detection step (S1), and whether the target particles have been successfully measured is detected on the basis of the result of detection of the other particles in the successful measurement determination step (S2).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】試料中に含まれる希少な粒子を標的粒子とした場合であっても、試料の測定が正しく行われたか否かを判定可能な測定成否判定方法および試料測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】測定試料に含まれる標的粒子の測定における測定成否判定方法は、検出工程Ｓ１と、測定の成否の判定工程Ｓ２と、を含む。測定成否判定方法は、検出工程Ｓ１において、測定試料中の標的粒子および標的粒子以外の他の粒子を検出する。また、測定成否判定方法は、測定の成否の判定工程Ｓ２において、少なくとも他の粒子の検出結果に基づいて、標的粒子の測定の成否を判定する。【選択図】図１
