Abstract:
A method for controlling a tandem mass analyzer of pipeline type is provided to independently operate a test material injection section, a first ion transfer section, an ion selection/separation section, an ion collision section, and a second ion transfer section. A method for controlling a tandem mass analyzer of pipeline type includes the steps of: operating a first ion transfer section and operating a second ion transfer section by a control unit(S28); operating an ion selection/separation section and operating a trap section by the control unit(S29); and colliding ions selected or separated by the ion selection/separation section and dividing the ions into a small size and discharging the ions and operating the test material injection section(S29a).
