Abstract: A mass spectrometry method that corrects the effects from space charge and that achieves both sensitivity and a dynamic range. The mass axis of the mass spectrum is corrected based on the counts of ions accumulated within the ion trap at the point in time each ion was extracted.

Abstract: A mass spectrometry system is mounted with (1) an action planning module for determining a measurement schedule provided by a combination of an MS analysis and an MSn analysis (where n?2) according to a measuring time provided previously; and (2) a mass spectrometry unit having a tandem mass spectrometry function for outputting a mass spectrum obtained by performing each measurement action constructing the measurement schedule.

Abstract: Provided is a mass spectrometer capable of easy exchange of a measurement sample and suppressing a carryover. The mass spectrometer includes a mass spectrometry section, an ion source the internal pressure of which is reduced by a differential pumping from the mass spectrometry section and the ion source ionizes the sample gas, a sample container in which the sample gas is generated by vaporizing the measurement sample, a thin pipe that introduces the sample gas generated in the sample container into the ion source, an elastic tube of openable and closable that connects the sample container and the thin pipe, a pair of weirs that closes or opens the elastic tube so as to sandwich the elastic tube, and a cartridge that integrates the sample container, the thin pipe, and the elastic tube, and is detachable in a lump from a main body of the mass spectrometer.

Abstract: There is a tendency of the intensity and the shape of a spectrum to be measured transitioning with the passage of measured time, depending on the volatility and the reactivity of a component. A mass spectrometric system includes: a mass spectrometric unit that measures a specimen and outputs a mass spectrum; and an estimator that has an estimation rule on content information, the estimation rule being assigned to each component and each measurement time. The estimator estimates, based on a mass spectrum output from the mass spectrometric unit, content information on each component of a plurality of components that may be contained in the specimen in accordance with the estimation rule.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer for efficiently ionizing a sample with less carry-over. The ratio of the amount of sample gas to that of a whole headspace gas is increased by decreasing the pressure inside of a sample vessel in which the sample is sealed thereby efficiently ionizing the sample.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer including a sample attaching member of attaching a sample, an ionizing chamber including an introductory port of the sample attaching member and an ionization source of generating a sample ion, a vacuumed chamber having a mass analyzer of analyzing the sample ion, and an opening/closing mechanism provided between the ionizing chamber and the vacuumed chamber, in which the opening/closing mechanism is controlled from a closed state to an open state after introducing the sample attaching member into the ionizing chamber to thereby enable to perform ionization with inconsiderable fragmentation at a high sensitivity with a high throughput

Abstract: A variation in an ionization efficiency and the amount of sample which is introduced into an ion trap is corrected and quantified. Ions of an internal standard and ions of a sample are trapped in the ion trap at the same time, and a concentration of the sample is quantified according to an intensity of the ions of the internal standard which are mass-selectively ejected, and an intensity of fragment ions of the sample.
