Abstract:
This mass spectrometer is provided with an ion guide (37) having a multipole rod electrode (1), a power source unit (5) for applying voltage to the multipole rod electrode, and a control unit for controlling the power source unit, said mass spectrometer being characterised by the multipole rod electrode having a rod electrode divided into a plurality of segmented rods (2A-1, 2A-2, 2B-1, 2B-2, 2C-1, 2C-2, 2D-1, 2D-2) at mutually different positions in the axial direction. Thus enabled is low-cost, high-throughput analysis.
Abstract:
An object is to measure both cations and anions with high duty cycle. In a mass spectrometer comprising an ion source (1), an ion guide part (31), and an ion trap (32), while ions are being mass-selectively ejected from the ion trap, ions having a polarity reverse to that of the ions trapped in the ion trap are introduced into the ion guide part.
Abstract:
A method of quickly detecting a handmade explosive in a bottle with a low erroneous alarm frequency is provided. A sample gas generated from a bottle placed on a bottle placement space is sucked-in, and ions of the sample gas are generated by an ion source and subjected to mass analysis. The presence/absence of a mass spectrum derived from the handmade explosive is determined from an obtained mass spectrum, and the result thereof is displayed on a monitor, thereby quickly detecting the handmade explosive in the bottle or the handmade explosive adhering to the surface of the bottle at a low erroneous alarm frequency.
Abstract:
The mass spectrometer is characterized in that a linear ion trap, that consists of electrodes for mass-selective discharge, is provided with a mechanism that excites ions in a first direction that is perpendicular to the rod axes and a mechanism that simultaneously generates an electric field on the axes in a second direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction and the first direction in order to generate an electric field on the central axis. Highly efficient, high-speed scanning can be achieved using this configuration.
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 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:
A mass spectrometer of ionizing a sample by a dielectric barrier discharge under a reduced pressure. An ionization with inconsiderable fragmentation can be carried out highly sensitively by the present invention.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer possessing both high resolution and durability in a simple, compact structure compared to mass spectrometers of the related art, and characterized in possessing a linear ion trap unit containing a multipolar rod electrode including rod electrodes having fine orifices to allow passage of electrons or ions; a mechanism to move the ions inside the linear ion trap unit along the axis of the multipolar rod electrode; and a detector to selectively detect by mass, ions ejected from the linear ion trap unit.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer having a resolution improved by introducing ions into a mass spectrometry part with a high efficiency is provided with a small-sized, simple configuration. The mass spectrometer includes an opening/closing mechanism provided between a sample introducing piping part for introducing a sample into the mass spectrometry part and the mass spectrometry part to conduct gas introduction intermittently and control sample passage. The mass spectrometer further includes a pump mechanism to evacuate a high pressure side of the sample introducing piping part, that is, an opposite side of the opening/closing mechanism to the mass spectrometry part to have a pressure in a range of 100 to 10,000 Pa.
