MASS SPECTROMETER EQUIPPED WITH MALDI ION SOURCE, AND SAMPLE PLATE FOR MALDI ION SOURCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mass spectrometer equipped with a MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) ion source capable of performing easily individual management of a sample plate and mass calibration based on distortion information of the sample plate, and the sample plate for the MALDI ion source. SOLUTION: ID information of the sample plate and the distortion information caused by irregularities on the sample plate surface are carved on the sample plate surface, registered as an electronic file, read by an observation means during measurement, and thereby utilized for individual management of the sample plate or mass calibration of a mass spectrum.
