An atomic absorption spectrophotometer includes a sample-atomizing portion for ashing and atomizing a sample, a power source operable to supply electric current to the sample-atomizing portion, a controller for controlling the operation of the power source, a pair of pressure regulators for setting a flow rate of an inert gas according to an ashing step and an atomization step in the sample-atomizing portion, a pair of movable valves respectively provided downstream of and connected to the pair of pressure regulators, and a filter device provided between the pair of movable valves and the sample-atomizing portion. Either of the pair of movable valves is activated into open or closed condition in synchronism with the operation of the power source so as to select the flow rate of the inert gas into the sample-atomizing portion. An electromagnetic shut-off valve for use in the atomic absorption spectrophotometer includes a valve housing having a valve chamber, and a movable valve body housed in the valve chamber. The movable valve body is movable between open and closed positions so as to open and close a gas flow line. The wall of the valve chamber is coated with a non-metallic material.

A plasma ion mass spectrometer capable of improving detection accuracy in mass spectrometry by reducing background noise due to ultraviolet radiation and neutral particles, and a plasma ion mass spectrometry using the same. A sample is ionized with plasma in a plasma generating portion. The flow of the ionized sample is shielded by a shield plate after an elapse of a specified time, and ions of the sample accumulated before the shielding is held in an ion trap type mass spectrometric portion for a specified time. The ions of the sample held for the specified time are then subjected to mass spectrometry. During ions of the sample accumulated before the shielding are held, ultraviolet radiation mixed with the ions of the sample disappears, and thereby only ions of the sample can be subjected to mass spectrometry. As a result, background noise is reduced, to improve detection accuracy in mass spectrometry.

摘要:
A standard containing the same elements as a sample is prepared. Concentrations of the elements of the standard are known previously. When signal intensities of an element of the standard solution and the sample exceed an upper limit of a pulse counter of an element analyzing apparatus, a transmitting rate of a passage, through which ionized elements of the standard and the sample pass, is controlled to be less than the ordinal transmitting rate of the passage in synchronism to the passing time of the elements. The concentrations of the elements of the sample is calculated based on output signals of the pulse counter concerning the elements of the standard and the sample and known concentration of the standard.

With this construction, the temperature of the interface unit can be controlled without changing the analysis sensitivity of the plasma ion source mass spectrometer.
