Abstract
An analyzer for analyzing urine material components includes: a sheath flow cell for forming a sample stream containing the urine material components; a light source for illuminating the sample stream; a section for detecting optical information from the illuminated material component particles; and an analyzing section for analyzing the material components; the analyzing section including a parameter extracting section for extracting parameters from the detected optical information, a section for generating a distribution diagram for the material components on the basis of the extracted parameters, a section for inputting an expectative domain of a particular material component in the distribution diagram, and a warning section for giving a warning when a cluster of data points of the particular material component deviates from the expectative domain by more than a predetermined degree.
