                 first storing means referring to the detected ID information to find the                                 
                 management information associated with the detected ID information, and                                  
                         second storing means for storing the management information in                                   
                 association with the information concerning the positions of the probes to which                         
                 the target substance has bound.                                                                          
                 20.     An analysis system for analyzing a target substance by causing the target                        
                 substance marked with a marker to bind selectively to some of plural types of
