Title:
QUADRUPOLE MASS SPECTROSCOPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/083403
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A quadrupole mass spectroscope. A table (21) where a plurality of selectable scanning rates are made to correspond to appropriate DC bias voltages is prestored in an automatic regulation data storage section (20). During automatic regulation, a control section (10) determines a DC bias voltage corresponding to each scan rate with reference to the table (21), fixes the output from an ion drawing voltage generating section (13) to the DC bias voltage, and finds out voltage conditions for maximizing a detection signal while varying other voltages applied to an ion optical system (2), for example. Optimal conditions are found for every scan rate and recorded in automatic regulation result data (22). When a target sample is analyzed, a DC bias voltage corresponding to a scan rate specified by an operator is determined from the table (21), optimal conditions are determined from the automatic regulation result data (22) and scan measurement conditions are determined based on them. Consequently, degradation in detection sensitivity can be suppressed when the scan rate of scan measurement is increased.
