Abstract
The mass spectrometer includes an ionizer, a mass separator, a detection device, a storage, and a controller. The detection device includes a detector and an electron introducer. The electrons from the electron introducer are introduced into the detector. In addition to an analysis operation, the mass spectrometer performs an operation to determine a voltage applied to the detector. At this point, electrons are introduced from the electron introducer to the detector. In the case that a detection value from the detector is less than a threshold, the controller can determine that a defect such as aging is generated in the detector.
