摘要:
Disclosed is an ion trap mass spectrometer improved to obtain a high sensitivity without the lowering of resolution. By fitting a mesh electrode to an aperture (an ion sampling aperture or an ion extracting aperture) made in endcap electrodes constituting an ion trap mass analysis region, a radio frequency electric field in the mass analysis region is not disturbed even if the diameter of the aperture is set to a large value to heighten ion transmission efficiency. By fitting a shield electrode for preventing collision of ions with an insulated ring constituting an outer wall of the mass analysis region, charging up of the insulated ring is prevented to improve stability of detection signals. Furthermore, by arranging a shield member for shielding stray charged particles detouring through the circumference of the mass analysis region to approach an ion detector, generation of noises based on these stray charged particles is prevented.

A method in which cutting of small droplets, neutral particles or photons through to a slit provided between a differential pumping portion and a mass analysis portion is combined with slight deflection of ions just before introduction of the ions into the mass analysis portion so that noises are greatly reduced without reduction of signals to thereby improve the signal-to-noise ratio which is an index of detecting sensitivity or lower limit.

摘要:
An eluant is supplied to an analyzer column, a sample solution is supplied through a sample inlet. The analyzer column separates the components of the sample solution. The separated components are eluted by the analyzer column, the eluted components are detected by an eluted component detector, the results of detection provided by the eluted component detector is processed by a data processor to produce a liquid chromatogram having peaks indicating the components of the sample. The components of the sample is supplied through a capillary pipe to an ion source and the ion source ionizes the components of the sample. A mass spectrometer subjects the ions produced by the ion source to mass analysis, an ion detector detects the ions included in a mass spectrum to produce an ion chromatogram having peaks. A time difference between the chromatograms is determined beforehand through an experiment using a standard sample, and the liquid chromatogram is shifted on its time axis by the time difference.

An atmospheric pressure ionization spectrometer capable for continuously detecting impurities included in air or gas can be realized. The air or gas is stored in a daily storage such as a bag, a package, a pocket or the like. An air suction probe is connected to an ion source through an insulation pipe, and the ion source is connected to an air exhaust pump through an exhaust port and an insulation pipe. The ion source has a needle electrode, a first small hole electrode, an intermediate pressure portion and a second small hole electrode, and the needle electrode is connected to a power source, and the first and second small hole electrodes are connected to an ion accelerating power source. The intermediate pressure portion is connected to a vacuum pump through the exhaust port. An electrostatic lens is disposed in the stage following the intermediate pressure portion, and a mass spectrometric portion and a detector are disposed in the stage following the electrostatic lens. A detection signal from the detector is supplied to a data processing portion through an amplifier. The data processing portion determines a plurality of M/Z values indicating a special drug to thereby determine whether or not the special drug is included in the sample gas.
