Abstract
An element analysis method is capable of maintaining accuracy of zero-point correction equivalent to that in the related art while shortening the time required for element analysis. The method includes heating a sample placed in a crucible in a heating furnace, and measuring an amount of an element contained in a gas discharged from the heating furnace by an analysis mechanism to analyze the element contained in the sample. The method includes: a blank measurement step of measuring the amount of the element contained in the gas discharged from the heating furnace when only the crucible is heated; and a step of setting an amount of zero-point correction based on a measurement value in a transient state region where the measurement value rises in blank data obtained in the blank measurement step.
