An imager takes an image of a sample-placement surface of a sample plate . A plate identifier decodes a barcode on the image to acquire a plate ID, recognizes the well arrangement, and retrieves a template having a cell arrangement corresponding to the well arrangement from a plate information storage section . A sample presence identifier identifies, from the image, a well on which a sample is placed. A plate correspondence information input assistant creates a template image in which the background color of the cells is changed depending on the presence of the sample, and displays it on a display unit . An analysis operator inputs information into each cell by a direct character-input operation or a drag-and-drop operation from a previously created sample list. The inputted information is associated with the corresponding well number and stored in a registration information storage section 1. An information management device for a mass spectrometer that performs mass spectrometry on a sample placed on a well on a sample plate having a plurality of wells , the information management device equipped with an input unit and a display unit as a user interface , and comprising:a) an imager for taking an image of a sample-placement surface of the sample plate on which the sample is to be placed;b) a plate information storage section in which plate information for various sample plates, including the arrangement of the plurality of wells of each of the sample plates, is stored;c) a plate information retriever for retrieving the plate information corresponding to the sample plate from the plate information storage section, based on the image of the sample plate taken with the imager or information relating to the sample plate which is inputted by a user using the input unit;d) a sample presence identifier for identifying the well on which the sample is placed, based on the image of the sample plate taken with the imager; ande) an input assistant for (i) displaying a ...
