In a sample-introduction tool in which an end of a passage is connected to a reservoir for storing a mobile phase solution, a sample-dropping orifice is provided at the passage and the mobile phase solution and a sample running off from the other end of the passage are introduced into a mass spectrometer by generating a high-speed gas stream around the other end of the passage. The mobile phase solution and the sample are nebulized by the high-speed gas stream, and the injected sample is ionized.
