PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the problem wherein mapping of components is difficult by a shortage of a separation due to mixture of a plurality of the components, fluctuations in the intensity between measurements, fluctuations in the retention times in chromatography or fluctuations in samples due to pretreatments, even if measurements are implemented under conditions similar to chromatography mass spectrometry of biological samples. SOLUTION: Ion information (masses, valences, intensities, isotope peak distribution, retention times) on a MS spectrum of the components to be mapped and MS spectrum information on the other components detected in the mass and time zone similar to the components to be mapped are utilized so as to implement mapping of the components among a plurality of the chromatography mass spectrometric data. Information on the other component includes the masses, the valences, the intensities, the isotope peak distribution, the retention times, and the like. The degree of matching is estimated as a score. The mapping accuracy is improved, by utilizing the component information detected in a similar time zone, in addition to the components to be mapped during determination. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically determine and process peptides derived from a very small amount of proteins as targets of tandem mass spectrometry desired by users without any measurement waste. SOLUTION: In this tandem type analysis system, by ionizing an object to be measured and performing mass spectrometry on generated various ion species, ion species having a specific mass-to-charge ratio are selected from among the generated various ion species and dissociated, and ion mass spectrometry measurement is repeated at n-stages (n=1, 2, etc.). On the basis of ionic strength expressed by a peak to the mass-to-charge ratio of ions in results of MS n , mass spectrometry at the n-th stage, control contents of the next analysis of MS n are determined for every ion to be analyzed. An ionization detector 14 highly precisely collates sample measurement and ionization data and determines the peaks of isotopes. When a count number of MS 1 of a parent ion peptide measured for some prescribed period is, for example, I, a data processing part 15 makes the number of times of integration of MS 2 of the peptide or its analysis time proportional to 1/I.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mass analyzing system capable of accurately obtaining the data of a measuring object required by a user, with high efficiency. SOLUTION: In a tandem-type mass analyzing system, a database is searched in relation to the first parameter of precursor ions for MS 1 mass analysis, when the intensity of the peak ions of an MS 1 mass spectrum is a predetermined threshold or higher, when the candidate of precursor ions for MS 2 mass analysis is selected to determine whether the ions are stored in the data base. When the intensity of the peak ions of the MS 1 mass spectrum is lower than the predetermined threshold, the database is searched in relation to a second parameter that is smaller than the first parameter, to determine whether the peak ions are stored in the database and the ions that are not stored in the database are selected as the candidate of the precursor ions for the MS 2 mass analysis.
