    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 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: The present invention provides a time of flight mass spectrometer having a spiral flight path, whose mass resolution can be appropriately changed with respect to the analysis object or other factor without any complicated alteration or addition of the mechanical construction. In a specific form of the invention, the mass spectrometer includes deflecting electrodes 20-23 located between semi-cylindrical electrodes 11 and 12 for making ions fly along a spiral path. The deflecting electrodes 20-23 generate deflecting electric fields for shifting the ions in the axial direction of the semi-cylindrical electrodes 11 and 12. The voltage applied to the deflecting electrodes 20-23 is changed according to the mass resolution required. The deflecting electric fields are generated or removed with the change of the voltage, which makes the ions fly either along a spiral path or in the same loop orbit. The flight distance of the ions can be controlled as desired by regulating the voltage so that the ions fly in the loop orbit an appropriate number of times. Thus, the mass resolution can be arbitrarily controlled.

    摘要: In an analysis using a mass spectrometer having a loop orbit along which ions are made to fly a plurality of times, the present invention provides a method of determining the mass-to-charge ratio of an ion without limiting the range of the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions to be brought into the loop orbit while allowing the lapping of the orbiting ions. The measurement is carried out two or more times under different conditions (Tg=500[μs], 400[μs]) under which the number of turns of the ion concerned is different. Flight times are determined from the flight time spectrums obtained by at least two measurements. Though the numbers of turns themselves are unknown, it is possible to calculate possible mass-to-charge ratios for each flight time by incrementally setting the number of turns at plural values. The two sets of possible mass-to-charge ratios derived from the two flight time values (525[μs], 441[μs]) determined by the two measurements are compared with each other, and a value that is found in both measurement results is selected as the mass-to-charge ratio of the ion concerned. Thus, it is possible to determine the mass-to-charge ratio without limiting the range of the mass-to-charge ratio before the ions are brought into the loop orbit.
