In an LC system using an ODS column (15) and UV detector (17), a cannabis-derived sample is analyzed by gradient elution using a phosphoric acid aqueous solution and phosphoric-acid-containing methanol. A control unit (3) regulates the openings of solenoid valves in a mixer (12) so that the increase rate of the mixture ratio of the phosphoric-acid-containing methanol in a second part of the analysis period is higher than in a first part. By this operation, ten active ingredients (including Total THC, Total CBD and CBN) contained in cannabis can be satisfactorily separated within an analysis time which is equal to or even shorter than approximately 30 minutes. Each ingredient separated by the column (15) is detected by the UV detector (17). An active ingredient identification processor (22) identifies the ten active ingredients based on the retention times of the peaks on a chromatogram created from the detection signals.
