A variation in an ionization efficiency and the amount of sample which is introduced into an ion trap is corrected and quantified. Ions of an internal standard and ions of a sample are trapped in the ion trap at the same time, and a concentration of the sample is quantified according to an intensity of the ions of the internal standard which are mass-selectively ejected, and an intensity of fragment ions of the sample.

A mass spectrometry system is mounted with (1) an action planning module for determining a measurement schedule provided by a combination of an MS analysis and an MSn analysis (where n≧2) according to a measuring time provided previously; and (2) a mass spectrometry unit having a tandem mass spectrometry function for outputting a mass spectrum obtained by performing each measurement action constructing the measurement schedule.

摘要:
When a liquid mixture of two samples such as biological samples labeled with stable isotopes is subjected to a relative quantitative analysis using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system, various constituents are simultaneously ionized. Accordingly, sufficient time required for second mass spectrometry is not ensured, whereby some ions remain unanalyzed after measurement. To address this problem, after second mass spectrometry, amino acid sequencing is performed using the analysis data of the second mass spectrometry, which enables determination on the presence/absence of a specific amino acid labeled with a stable isotope. When the specific amino acid is present, the m/z value of an isotopically-labeled-paired ion in an MS spectrum is calculated, and non-target information for use in second mass spectrometry is created using the calculated m/z information. This avoids redundant second mass spectrometry on sample components derived from the same peptide while allowing second mass spectrometry to be efficiently performed.
摘要:
The selection of oocytes has largely relied on manual procedures, resulting in their lack of uniformity. Groups of oocytes are prepared and sorted, the current responses of these groups of oocytes upon exposure to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are measured, the response of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is determined for each group of oocytes, and desirable groups of oocytes are selected on the basis of the response of GPCR. In this way, oocytes having a uniformly high response of GPCR can be selected.
