When a high-speed analyzer such as a
quadrupole mass filter is united with an analyzer which requires a reaction time of 10 msec, such as an
ion dissociation chamber of the
ion trap type, a problem arises that an
ion loss occurs due to a difference in analysis speed between the analyzers. A high-
throughput analysis is intended to be achieved by eliminating this loss. A pre
ion trap (4) is provided between a
quadrupole filter (3) and an
ion dissociation chamber (5), and ions are accumulated in the pre
ion trap (4) while operations such as dissociation, isolation and ejection are being performed in the
ion dissociation chamber (5). This configuration solves a problem with the
ion dissociation chamber (5), which is a decrease in
transmittance of the dissociation chamber (5), i.e., a decrease in
throughput, and accordingly enables a high-
throughput structural analysis on a measurement sample.
