A tandem
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer is provided. In the
mass spectrometer, the ions selected by a FT-ICR
mass analyzer, which can perform an
ion selection process and a
mass measurement process with a time interval between the processes, are transmitted through an
ion guide to a collision
cell, which is located a predetermined distance from the FT-ICR
mass analyzer, to split into fragment ions. The fragment ions are transmitted to the FT-ICR
mass analyzer that measures the mass of the fragment ions. The fragment ions are generated in the collision
cell 60 established separately from the FT-ICR
mass analyzer 40 according to the mass
spectrometer. Accordingly, It can solve various problems (e.g., the
radius reduction of
cyclotron motion of colliding ions, or the removal of periphery gas after generating the fragment ions) occurred in a tandem mass spectrometer using a conventional tandem-in-time
mass analysis method. Also, a
high resolution and with sensitivity measurement can be achieved. Moreover, when a
reagent gas instead of a collision gas in the collision
cell is injected, the
gas phase reaction of the selected ions and the
reagent gas can be observed, and the mass of the ions generated in the
gas phase reaction can be measured.
