Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for and a method of mass analysis in which a presence of an accessory substance which is difficult to be analyzed can be recognized visually and clearly. The apparatus for mass analysis analyzes a sample containing a substance to be measured and includes: a display unit; a memory unit storing a theoretical peak obtained by calculation with respect to a region of a mass spectrum of the substance; a matching degree calculation unit calculating a matching degree from multiple peaks that each of the mass spectrum of the sample in the region and the theoretical peak have; a matching degree displaying control unit displaying the matching degree on the display unit; and a superimposition displaying control unit displaying the mass spectrum of the sample and the theoretical peak in a superimposed way in a manner that is consistent with a mass-to-charge ratio.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mass analysis apparatus and method, wherein the precision of detection of a first material including a second material is improved, without enlarging the apparatus, and the measurement time is reduced. The mass analysis apparatus for analyzing a sample containing a first material including an organic compound and at least one second material including an organic compound and having a mass spectrum peak overlapping that of the first material includes a peak correction unit, wherein, when an intensity ratio (peak B)/(peak A) of peak A, not overlapping that of the first material, and peak B, overlapping that of the first material, is a correction coefficient (W), an intensity of a net peak D of the mass spectrum of the first material is calculated by subtracting W×(intensity of peak A) from an intensity of a peak C of the mass spectrum of the first material in the sample.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for and a method of mass analysis, the apparatus and the method being capable of improving a detection accuracy of a target substance including impurities, without increasing a size of the apparatus, and shortening measuring time. The apparatus analyzing a sample containing a target substance and one or more interfering substances, which have a peak of a mass spectrum overlapping that of the target substance includes: a peak correction unit calculating an intensity of net peak D of the mass spectrum of the target substance by subtracting a total sum of estimated intensities of the peak B, which are calculated every predetermined time interval according to the intensity of the peak A and a nonlinear relation F between the peak A and the peak B, from an intensity of peak C of a mass spectrum of the target substance of the sample.
