IONIZATION METHOD, IONIZATION APPARATUS, AND MASS ANALYSIS SYSTEM

摘要

In order to achieve an ionization method of high robustness with a small carry-over or less crosstalk, an ionization method is disclosed. A method includes the steps of: joining an ionization unit to a tube; sucking the sample from a sample container into a sample holder of the ionization unit to hold the sample; moving the ionization unit holding the sample to near the ionization unit using an ionization unit drive unit; and applying a voltage to the ionization unit using a power supply to ionize the sample by electrostatically spraying the sample from the holding unit.

1. An ionization method using an ionization unit having a sample holder configured to hold a sample, an ionization unit drive unit configured to drive the ionization unit, a power supply configured to apply a voltage to the ionization unit, and a sample suction tube, the method comprising the steps of:
joining the ionization unit to the tube; sucking the sample from a sample container into a sample holder of the ionization unit to hold the sample; moving the ionization unit holding the sample to near a detecting unit using the ionization unit drive unit; and applying a voltage to the ionization unit using the power supply to ionize the sample by electrostatically spraying the sample from the sample holder.
