Performing an MS3 with a tandem mass spectrometer causes problems of increase in size of the device and of increase in cost. Likewise, a plural number of times MS/MS analyses are even more difficult. An electrode to create a harmonic potential is disposed in a collision cell, and fragment ions produced by the first-time collision induced dissociation are accumulated in the harmonic potential. Target ions of the subsequent stage are let out, by means of an axial resonance excitation, selectively from the accumulated ions. The ions are excited in the axial direction to have a potential exceeding the harmonic potential. Thereby, the second-time collision induced dissociation is performed by means of a potential difference provided at the subsequent stage. In addition, an operation to return the ions back to the harmonic potential enables a plural number of times MS/MS analyses to be performed.
