A double monochrometer comprises a main monochrometer including a plane grating and an auxiliary monochrometer including a concave grating. The concave grating is disposed on the entrance or exit optical axis of the main monochrometer. Preferably, the angular dispersion of the concave grating is selected to be smaller than that of the plane grating. Sine bars for rotating the concave and plane gratings for wavelength scanning can be driven by means of a single feed screw mechanism even if the lengths of the sine bars are made different from each other in accordance with a difference in angular dispersion between the concave and plane gratings.

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.

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.

A plasma analyzer for trace element analysis has a gas supply system comprising a plurality of gas sources, an electromagnetic valve provided on a line connecting each gas source to a plasma generating space, a buffer tank provided after the electromagnetic valve on the line, and a flow regulating flowmeter provided after the buffer tank on the line. Each electromagnetic valves is controlled for on-off operation and the corresponding buffer tank suppresses the sudden change of the flow rate of the corresponding gas, so that the composition of the gas supplied to the plasma generating space changes gradually in spite of the simple on-off operation of the electromagnetic valves. Thus, the fluctuation and extinction of the plasma attributable to the sudden change of the composition of the gas supplied to the plasma generating space can be effectively prevented.

摘要:
Plasma ion source mass spectrometers or liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometers are provided: wherein photon noises and matrix molecule ions produced by the ion source are decreased, the decrease of the quantity of signal is suppressed, and the apparatus maintenance is improved. The photon noises are decreased with a shielding plate and a 90 degrees deflector. The maintainability in cleaning is improved by a combination of a leading electrode, the shielding plate having a small hole, and a gate valve. The decrease in the quantity of signal is suppressed with the leading electrode, and a double cylindrical type static lens. Position adjustment of the leading electrode is performed with a flat plate having plural holes. Using an ion trap mass analyzer, matrix molecule ions are eliminated by applying a resonance voltage between its end cap electrodes. Decrease in the quantity of signals, which has been a problem, can be prevented, and a high transmission can be realized with a preferable reproducibility against disturbance of an electric field caused by ion lens and the like. A detectable limit of atomic ions of the sample can be improved by eliminating the matrix molecule ions.
