    摘要: A time of flight type mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) of the present invention includes: a flight space containing a loop orbit on which ions fly once or more than once; a flight controller for making ions of a same mass to charge ratio fly the loop orbit at several values of number of turns; a flight time measurer for measuring a length of flight time of the ions; and a processor for determining the mass to charge ratio of the ions based on a relationship between the value of number of turns and the length of flight time of the ions. The speed of ions flying a loop orbit depends on their mass to charge ratios. For ions of the same mass to charge ratio, the difference between the lengths of flight time of the ions flying the loop orbit N turns and of the ions flying the loop orbit N+1 turns depends on the speed of the ions, so that the difference depends on the mass to charge ratio of the ions. The difference in the length of flight time is unrelated to the variation in the starting time (jitter), variation in the detection timing (jitter), etc, so that the value of the mass to charge ratio can be precisely determined free from errors caused by such disturbing factors.

    摘要: In the mass spectrometer of the present invention, a flight space is provided before the mass analyzer, and the flight space includes a loop orbit on which ions fly repeatedly. While ions fly on the loop orbit repeatedly, ion selecting electrodes placed on the loop orbit selects object ions having a specific mass to charge ratio in such a manner that, for a limited time period when the object ions are flying through the ion selecting electrodes, an appropriate voltage is applied to the ion selecting electrodes to make them continue to fly on the loop orbit, but otherwise to make or let other ions deflect from the loop orbit. If ions having various mass to charge ratios are introduced in the loop orbit almost at the same time, the object ions having the same mass to charge ratio continue to fly on the loop orbit in a band, but ions having mass to charge ratios different from that are separated from the object ions while flying on the loop orbit repeatedly. Even if the difference in the mass to charge ratio is small, the separation becomes large when the number of turns of the flight becomes large. After such a separation is adequately achieved, the ion selecting electrodes can select the object ions with high selectivity, or at high mass resolution. By adding dissociating means, fragment ions originated only from the selected object ions can be analyzed, which enables the identification and structural analysis of the sample at high accuracy.

    摘要: A curved ion guide includes four curved rod electrodes arranged around a curved central axis, two deflecting auxiliary electrodes which face each other across the axis, and two focusing auxiliary electrodes which are located on a curved surface orthogonal to the plane P and including the axis and which face each other across the axis. Ions are focused by the effect of an electric field created by radio-frequency voltages applied to the curved rod electrodes, and a deflecting electric field having the effect of curving ions along the axis is created by direct-current voltages applied to the deflecting auxiliary electrodes. Furthermore, a focusing direct-current electric field having the effect of pushing ions from the vicinity of the focusing auxiliary electrodes toward the axis is created by a direct-current voltage having the same polarity as that of the ions and applied to the focusing auxiliary electrodes.

    摘要: A mass analysis of a sample having a known mass-to-charge ratio is carried out by performing a scan at a first-stage quadrupole over a predetermined mass range, under the condition that a collision induced dissociation gas is introduced into a collision cell and a voltage applied to a third-stage quadrupole is set so that no substantial mass separation occurs in this quadrupole. Various product ions originating from a precursor ion selected by the first-stage quadrupole arrive at and are detected by a detector without being mass separated. Accordingly, based on the detection data, a data processor can obtain a relationship between the voltage applied to the first-stage quadrupole and the mass-to-charge ratio of the selected ions, with a time delay in the collision cell reflected in that relationship. This relationship is stored in a calibration data memory, to be utilized in a neutral loss scan measurement or the like.

    摘要: A high-quality mass spectrum is provided with alleviated mass/charge axis deviation in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer even when executing a high-speed mass scan with MS/MS analysis. Mass calibration tables which denote relations between m/z and a mass deviation value which scan speed is a parameter are prepared separately for use in MS analyses without involving dissociation operations and MS/MS analyses with involving dissociation operations. According to a measuring mode, such as a product ion scan measurement or a neutral loss scan measurement, when performing MS/MS analysis, a mass deviation value for the minimum scan speed in a table is used for a quadrupole where the selected m/z is fixed, and a mass deviation value for a designated scan speed in a table is used for a quadrupole where the mass scan is performed, thus controlling the operations of each of a pre-stage and a post-stage quadrupoles.

    摘要: A curved ion guide (2) includes four curved rod electrodes (201-204) arranged around a curved central axis (O), two deflecting auxiliary electrodes (205, 206) which are located on a plane P on which the curved central axis (O) lies and which face each other across the axis (O), and two focusing auxiliary electrodes (207, 208) which are located on a curved surface orthogonal to the plane P and including the axis (O) and which face each other across the axis (O). Ions are focused by the effect of an electric field created by radio-frequency voltages applied to the curved rod electrodes, and a deflecting electric field having the effect of curving ions along the axis (O) is created by direct-current voltages applied to the deflecting auxiliary electrodes. Furthermore, a focusing direct-current electric field having the effect of pushing ions from the vicinity of the focusing auxiliary electrodes toward the axis (O) is created by a direct-current voltage having the same polarity as that of the ions and applied to the focusing auxiliary electrodes. The spatial spread of ions having large amounts of energy is suppressed by the effect of this focusing direct-current electric field, and the ions efficiently arrive at the exit end of the ion guide.
