を備えることを特徴としている。
さらにまた、上述したように分析者が設定したか否かに拘わらず、測定開始時点から測定終了時点までの測定時間に亘って、所定の質量電荷比範囲に亘るスキャン測定が繰り返し実施されるようにしておき、プロダクトイオンスキャン測定と同じサイクル中に実施された又は該プロダクトイオンスキャン測定の直近に実施されたスキャン測定を自動的に選択するようにしてもよい。

を備えることを特徴としている。
また本発明の第2の態様のタンデム型質量分析装置によれば、測定開始時点からの時間経過に従って質量ずれ量がドリフトするおそれがある場合でも、そうしたドリフトによる質量ずれ量の変化の影響を抑え、目的成分由来のプロダクトイオンの質量電荷比を精度良く求めることができる。
以下、本発明に係るタンデム型質量分析装置を用いた液体クロマトグラフ質量分析装置(LC-MS)の一実施例について、添付図面を参照して説明する。図1は本実施例のLC-MSの要部の構成図である。
なお、一般に、中央制御部6及びデータ処理部4に含まれる機能の全て又は一部は、パーソナルコンピュータ(又はワークステーション)にインストールされた専用のソフトウエアを該コンピュータ上で実行することにより達成する構成とすることができる。
LC部1のカラム13からの溶出液がESIスプレー26に導入されると、ESIスプレー26は片寄った電荷を溶出液に付与しつつ該液を噴霧する。帯電した微小液滴は大気ガスと接触して微細化され、溶媒が蒸発する過程で該液滴中の成分がイオン化される。生成されたイオンは脱溶媒管27、イオンガイド28、30を経て、四重極マスフィルタ31に導入される。分析制御部5の制御の下で、四重極マスフィルタ31には特定の質量電荷比を有するイオンのみを通過させるような電圧が印加される。それにより、試料成分由来の様々なイオンの中で、特定の質量電荷比を有するイオンのみがプリカーサイオンとして選択的に四重極マスフィルタ31を通り抜け、コリジョンセル32内に導入される。
ここでは、図3(a)に示すように、標準成分が2種類であって、該成分由来のイオンの質量電荷比の理論値はMa、Mb、その実測値はMa'、Mb'であったものとする。つまり、一つの標準成分については質量ずれMa-Ma'=ΔMaが存在し、他の一つの標準成分については質量ずれMb-Mb'=ΔMbが存在している。質量補正情報算出部42はMSスペクトル上で観測される質量電荷比の実測値と既知の質量電荷比の理論値との差をMSスペクトル毎に計算し、これを質量補正情報として一時的に記憶する。
次に、本発明に係るタンデム型質量分析装置を用いた第2実施例のLC-MSについて、図7を参照して説明する。この第2実施例のLC-MSの基本的な構成は第1実施例と同様であるので詳しい説明を省略する。ただし、この第2実施例のLC-MSでは、カラム13から溶出する溶出液に標準試料を混合せず、その代わりに、溶出液又は標準試料のいずれかを選択的に質量分析部2に導入する。したがって、図1に示した構成図におけるミキサ14に代えて流路切り替え用のバルブが設けられる。
また、上記実施例や変形例はいずれも本発明の一例であるから、上記記載以外にも、本発明の趣旨の範囲で適宜に変形、追加、修正を行っても本願特許請求の範囲に包含されることは明らかである。
