    摘要: Provided is a technique for accurately determining a performance of a single detector that detects ions having passed through a mass analysis unit. A mass analysis system according to the present disclosure includes, in a mass analysis device, a first converter configured to calculate a first measured value based on an intensity and an area of a pulse in an electric signal output from the detector configured to detect the ions having passed through the mass analysis unit, a second converter configured to obtain a second measured value by counting the number of pulses of the electric signal, a calculation unit configured to calculate an A/P ratio indicating a ratio of the first measured value to the second measured value, a determination unit configured to determine a performance of the detector based on a value of the A/P ratio, and a control unit configured to control at least an output of a determination result obtained by the determination unit.

    摘要: The present invention implements an ion detector with which it is possible to avoid direct collisions of negative ions with a scintillator, prevent degradation of the scintillator, prolong life of the scintillator, reduce the need for maintenance, and perform highly sensitive detection of both positive and negative ions. With respect to a reference line 65 connecting a central point 63 of a positive ion CD 52 and a central point 64 of a counter electrode 54, a central point 66 of a negative ion CD 53 is provided in a region of a side opposite to a region of a side of a central point 67 of a scintillator 56. Positive ions entering from an ion entrance 62 receive a deflection force and collide with the positive ion CD 52 to generate secondary electrons. The generated secondary electrons collide with the scintillator 56 to generate light. The generated light passes through a light guide 59 and is detected by a photomultiplier tube 58. A negative potential barrier is generated along the reference line 65. Negative ions entering form the ion entrance 62 are attracted to and collide with the negative ion CD 53 to generate positive ions. The generated positive ions collide with the positive ion CD 52 to generate secondary electrons. The generated secondary electrons collide with the scintillator 56 and are detected by the photomultiplier tube 58.

    摘要: There is provided a specimen analyzer that can measure carry-over without degrading a specimen processing capability. A specimen analyzer according to the present invention measures a first sample including a first specimen and a first internal reference material, subsequently measures a second sample including a second specimen and a second internal reference material, and calculates an amount of the second specimen included in the second sample using an amount of the first internal reference material measured when the first sample has been measured and an amount of the second internal reference material measured when the second sample has been measured.

    摘要: An object of the invention is to provide a mass spectrometry apparatus capable of obtaining a highly accurate quantitative result and being low-cost. A small section measurement instruction unit 101 instructs a detector 9 to perform measurement on a plurality of small sections 5 in a channel 4, the signals detected by the detector 9 are stored in a data storage unit 102, the signals are integrated by a small section signal amount integration unit 103, and variance of the integrated signals is calculated by a signal variance calculation unit 104. A signal variance evaluation unit 105 evaluates the signal variance of signals of each small section 5 in the same channel 4. When the signal variance is evaluated to be stable, an operation control unit 106 controls operations of the ion source 6 to continue measurement without warning. When the signal variance is evaluated to be unstable, the warning is performed during the measurement or after the measurement.
