  • Patent number: 11371915
    Abstract: In order to detach substances stably from an inspection object, an adhering substance collecting device includes: ejection openings configured to eject gas; a housing on which the ejection openings are provided; and supporting portions which are installed on a surface of the housing on which the ejection openings are provided, and have a prescribed height. The supporting portions include protruded portions formed on the housing. The supporting portions each have a cuboid shape, and are installed such that a distance therebetween becomes smaller toward a direction of a recovery opening that is configured to collect substances having been detached from an inspection object, from the gas.

  • Patent number: 10955401
    Abstract: In order to suppress malfunctions even when using a reagent (chemical for reagent) corresponding to a hazardous substance, the present invention has an analyzing unit in which a chemical for reagent, having added thereto an indicator that is different from a hazardous material that is a detection target, is used to calibrate on the basis of the detection target included in the chemical for reagent, and which performs mass spectrometry. When a peak corresponding to the indicator is not included and a peak corresponding to the detection target material is included in the spectrum that is the analysis result of the analyzing unit, the detection target is determined to be included.
