Patent number: 10541125Abstract: A microchannel plate (MCP) 41 in an ion detection section 4 multiplies electrons. An anode 42 detects those electrons and produces a current signal. An amplifier 44 converts this signal into a voltage signal. A low-pass filter 5A acting as a smoothing section 5 is located at the output end of the amplifier 44. A waveform-shaping time adjuster 6 adjusts the time constant of the low-pass filter 5A beforehand according to the response time of the MCP 41, mass-to-charge ratio of an ion species to be subjected to the measurement, and duration of the spread of the ion species which depends on device-specific parameters. A plurality of peaks which sequentially appear in the detection signal corresponding to one ion species are thereby smoothed into a single broad peak. Thus, the distinguishability between signal waves and noise components is improved.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Miura, Hideaki Izumi, Kiyoshi Ogawa

Patent number: 10012572Abstract: Provided is a technique for using an optical microscope image of an area on a sample to collect area-specific information characterizing each kind of biological tissue from imaging mass analysis data. On an optical image of a two-dimensional target area on a sample, a difference is examined in the kind of tissue or other features and areas are specified, each regarded as the same kind of tissue. When data processing is initiated, peak information is extracted, for each specified area, from mass spectrum data of all the measurement points. A peak method is applied to each area to extract peak information. Then, when a command to compare a set of areas is given, the peak information of those areas is collected. By comparing the peak information of different areas by a machine learning algorithm or similar judging technique, area-specific peak information is obtained, and this information is stored in memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Keio University, National University Corporation Hamamatsu, and Shimadzu Co.Inventors: Masaaki Matsuura, Masaru Ushijima, Masatoshi Wakui, Mitsutoshi Setou, Shigeki Kajihara, Kiyoshi Ogawa

Patent number: 8612162Abstract: A method creates an accurate mass spectrum with a high resolving power based on a plurality of TOF spectra, while reducing the computation to assure real-time processing. TOF spectra are measured when ions are ejected from the loop orbit. Then a coincidence detection method determines what mass-to-charge ratio a peak appearing on the TOF spectra originates from. The time range in which a corresponding peak appears on other TOF spectra is set, and the existence of the peak in that range is determined. When the corresponding peak is found on other TOF spectra, the m/z is deduced from the peak on the TOF spectrum with the highest resolving power and a mass spectrum is created. From the peak density around the peak of interest, the reliability of the deduction is computed. For a low reliability peak, the ion ejection time is optimized and the TOF spectrum is measured again.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Shimadzu CorporationInventors: Osamu Furuhashi, Kiyoshi Ogawa, Shigeki Kajihara, Tohru Kinugawa
