1. A management system for managing operation of a preparative liquid chromatograph apparatus, wherein
the preparative liquid chromatograph apparatus includes:
a liquid delivery pump for feeding a mobile phase;
an injector configured to collect liquid from an optional container among a plurality of containers arranged at a predetermined position and to inject the liquid into the mobile phase;
a separation column for separating components in the liquid injected into the mobile phase by the injector from each other;
a detector that outputs a signal according to a component concentration in an eluate from the separation column; and
a fractionator for collecting each of desired portions of the eluate from the separation column into an individual container as a fraction downstream of the detector using the plurality of containers,
the management system comprises:
an injection registration part configured to display an injection registration screen in response to a request from a user, and to register a container designated by the user on the injection registration screen as an injection target container;
a result display part configured to display a chromatogram created based on the signal output by the detector, to create fractionation information indicating a correspondence relationship between a position on the chromatogram of each fraction collected in an individual container by the fractionator and a position of a container in which each fraction is collected, and to display the created fractionation information as a fractionation result screen;
a reinjection registration part configured to allow the user to designate a fraction to be reinjected on the fractionation result screen, and to register a container in which the fraction designated by the user is collected as a reinjection target container when the fraction to be reinjected is designated by the user; and
a controller configured to control operation of the injector so that liquid contained in the container registered as the injection target container or the reinjection target container is injected into the mobile phase.
