    摘要: The present invention relates to a data processing device for mass spectrometry, in which measurements are performed in a high dynamic range without causing an overrange in an A/D converter in any TOF scan. A data acquisition circuit of a mass spectrometer includes an amplitude value computing circuit which measures and stores a maximum amplitude value of an ion detection signal, a gain control circuit for determining and setting a gain amount for the next measurement, and others. From the immediately preceding TOF scan data or TOF scan data plural times before, the maximum amplitude value of the ion detection signal is extracted. Then, before the next TOF scan, an optimum gain amount is determined based on the extracted maximum amplitude value to adjust the gain of the input signal, and the ion signal is sampled in the A/D converter.

    摘要: The present invention provides a tandem type mass analysis system capable of carrying out the differential analysis with high efficiency by the tandem type mass analysis. A predetermined number of m/z regions are set up for carrying out the mass analysis with the all ions included therein being dissociated collectively for each m/z region so as to obtain measurement MS2 data. By comparing the measurement MS2 data with reference MS2 data stored in a reference data base, a difference thereof is detected. For the m/z region with a differential component detected, the mass analysis is carried out collectively without dissociation for the all ions included therein so as to obtain measurement MS1 data. By comparing the measurement MS1 data with the reference MS1 data, a difference thereof is detected. From the difference thereof, a parent ion considered to be the differential component factor is presumed for carrying out the mass analysis with the same being dissociated.

    摘要: According to the existing mass spectrometric system, whether or not the informations are sufficient for analyzing substances (particularly proteins, sugars, etc.) cannot be judged in the process of measurement. Further, it is difficult to find out isomers having just the same mass number or compounds very close in mass only from the MS data. According to this invention, whether or not the retention time in the LC (or GC) of peptide formed at the time of enzymatic decomposition of protein coincides with the predicted retention time assumed from the amino acid sequence predicted from MS2 mass spectrometry data is judged within the actual time period of measurement, and thereby the quality of MS2 mass spectrometry data (quantity of information) is judged.

    摘要: The invention intends to provide an atomic absorption spectrophotometer which can establish a uniform heat distribution during heating of a sample and can improve analysis accuracy and analyzing efficiency. For this purpose, a graphite tube type cuvette mounted in a graphite atomizer furnace for an atomic absorption spectrophotometer comprises a large-diameter portion for retaining a sample in place, a small-diameter portion connected to the large-diameter portion and having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter portion, and a step portion for demarcating between the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion. The graphite tube type cuvette is formed such that its cross-sectional area in a plane perpendicular to the direction of passage of an electric current supplied to the cuvette is the same in any of the large-diameter portion, the small-diameter portion and the step portion. The amount of resistance heat is thereby also the same in any portions.

    摘要: During the structural analysis of a protein or peptide by tandem mass spectroscopy, a peptide ion derived from a protein that has already been measured and that is expressed in great quantities is avoided as a tandem mass spectroscopy target. A peptide derived from a minute amount of protein, which has heretofore been difficult to analyze, can be automatically determined as a tandem mass spectroscopy target within the real time of measurement. Data concerning a protein that has already been measured and a peptide derived from the protein is automatically stored in an internal database. The stored data is collated with measured data with high accuracy to determine an isotope peak. In this way, the process of selecting a peptide peak that has not been measured as the target for the next tandem analysis can be performed within the real time of measurement and a redundant measurement of peptides derived from the same protein can be avoided. The information contained in the MSn spectrum is effectively utilized in each step of the MSn involving a multi-stage dissociation and mass spectroscopy (MSn), so that the flows for the determination of the next analysis content and the selection of the parent ion for the MSn+1 analysis, for example, can be optimized within the real time of measurement and with high efficiency and accuracy. Thus, a target of concern to the user can be subjected to tandem mass spectroscopy without wasteful measurement.
