Abstract: A direct sample introduction device includes: a pre-evacuating chamber that has an internal space extending in a first direction through which a sample introduction probe extends in the first direction; a first ventilation unit that is allowed to be opened and closed, with a first end thereof being connected to the pre-evacuating chamber; and a second ventilation unit a first end of which is connected to the pre-evacuating chamber and a second end of which is connected to a low pressure source.

Abstract: A GC/MS measurement under an ionization by an electron ionization method is performed for a target sample (S1). Peaks are detected on a chromatogram based on obtained data, and a mass spectrum corresponding to each peak is compared with a compound database to identify a compound (S2-S4). A compound identified with a low degree of similarity is extracted as the measurement compound. For this compound, a measurement window including the retention time of a peak corresponding to the compound is set, and a control program for performing an ionization by a chemical ionization method only within the measurement window is created (S5-S8).

Abstract: An autosampler includes a drive unit, an obstacle sensor, and a control unit. The drive unit includes: a head; an arm that extends in a Y-axis direction, which is one direction in a horizontal plane, and slides in a Y-axis direction while holding the head on the distal end side; and an arm movement mechanism that moves the arm in an X-axis direction that is orthogonal to the Y-axis direction in the horizontal plane. The obstacle sensor is provided to the drive unit and detects an obstacle on the movement path of the head and the arm. The control unit controls driving of the head by the drive unit and includes a shortest route movement route and an obstacle avoidance unit.
